Victorian Purple Collar
Is this Victorian? I actually named it for the netted stitch that runs across the middle. Everything I know about beading I learned from books from the craft store or the library. I suppose I could have taken a class, but I’ve always appreciated diagrams and most stitches aren’t too difficult to figure out. I save my money for art metal class, which is considerably more challenging. Adjustable chain closure. 18″
Three Strand Purple Glass Necklace
Serpentine Pearl Necklace
Red Cylinder Necklace
Green Cylinder Drop Necklace
Fire Agate Trapezoid Necklace
Gray Green Twig Necklace
Occasionally, I will leaf through a bohemian chic catalog and see what the models are wearing. This necklace is inspired by a simple necklace I saw in Anthropologie. I began a more complicated version, consisting of individually woven leafy twigs built upon a woven chain. Before I realized what I was doing, it was too late to turn back. 20″
