Something from the Eastby: Lee Metsalo
This
is a basic stringing project blending beads from two different
points
east. Bali silver
beads are like the LBD
(Little Black Dress) – they make everything look good!
If,
like me, you can’t wear yellow, try this necklace with
turquoise, ice obsidian,
turtirella agate, moss agate, carnelian, smoky topaz or red
creek jasper. All
would work well!
The tiny 2 mm rounds between the beads give a nice spacing and make the necklace bend and drape gracefully - much like knots in a pearl necklace, but without all the knotting!
Wire guardians and crimp covers to finish the ends make for a very polished and put-together finished look.
Tools
Used: wire cutters,
crimp pliers,
flat/chain nose pliers
