we don't seem to be getting hardly any modest pieces on PS of late ....
but since i got this piece its been my most worn necklace
they are made with some Wen potato pearls that didn't work out for another project
i felt they were too pretty to be left just lying around and it's too much hassle to send anything back from down here
the green beads are moss agate, ive been having a bit of a moss agate moment of late
as is my M.O. it's a cr* photo, i took it at work on the ipad thingy
the pearls do have a nice luster, not PS quality but better than the photo and at least as good as anything in the jewlers window here
i am dissapointed in the photo, its on the sandwich making bench at work on my apron
the catch is the one i get my guy to make out of SS, its a bit utilitarian but it means i can actually do it up and undo it without a huge drama
i'm in the process of getting them put on almost every thing
the N i got for xmas or maybe my birthday probably 40 plus years ago, my mother would be glad i'm still wearing it
another terrible photo from work but ive desided this length is my sweet spot
anyway ..sigh
i dont think it's too bad
but not one single person has commented on it
i know i am not surrounded by jewlery lovers in 'real life' but i did think it was worth some sort of honorable mention
inspiraton pix from etsy
my luster is at least as good as this
i cant do the knotting, but this jewler has a lady who works inhouse at the bench beside him, im actually beginning to think the trouble could be my disgraphia (why i cant spell) because i hold pencils and crochet hooks too tight and it becomes too painful and threading the pearls/beads and knotting is really painful
i was surpossed to be on ban island regrading new things but i decided to cheat and call this a repurpose of the N charm and also using up pretty left overs
i have never had a project materialize so quickly from conception to actually wearing a finished piece so i was feeling terrible proud of myself
of course nothing compaired to all the lovelies being purchased of late on the forum
i was kinda going for a @MakingTheGrade youthful vibe but on a budget
