Shalini sent me this lovely bowl of bead soup.
Now, they are really not a colour combination I would have chosen for myself. But that's the whole point! When someonee lse shooses your pallette and materials, you have to think outside of your normal design patterns.
So I did!
There were some lovely little tibetan silver spacers in a generous bag of "extras" which Shalini sent so i started by putting them to good use.
I don't usually make multistrand pieces with two hole spacers, so figured now was the time to start learning.
With the wire wrapped pendant, how could I not choose a bit of wire wrapping for the necklace itself?
Now pop over to Shalini to see what she made from the soup I sent her
And everyone else from todays blog hop is listed here.
I don't blame you at all for keeping it! I'd say you have the two hole spacer method down pat!!
ReplyDeleteCheers! I've been on the lookout for some ever since and finally found some pretties so I can have another go :)
DeleteLove the bracelet!
ReplyDeleteThankyou :)
DeleteWOW! Really lovely Sarah. The colours on the bracelet make me smile :-)
ReplyDeleteme too! I've been wearing it all the time and have already found some two holed spacers the same as the ones you sent so I can look to making another in different colors :)
DeleteLovely! You must post pictures of the new ones. You have mastered the art of double strand bracelets. Multi-strand Necklace next?
Deleteooh. I think a multi-strand necklace will take some thinking to get the curve right.
DeleteWell Sarah I really like the set you created. Your first attempt at multi-strand spacers turned out beautifully. I'm especially glad you will enjoy it so. ;)
