The Ever Evolving Jewelry Project

Remember these beads?

Either my customers didn’t have the vision or the beads were too expensive because no one snatched them up.  So, I reclaimed them, added matching spacer beads and made a necklace.

Another component I added was a custom toggle closure instead of the silver ones I’d been using.  I will also re-string another necklace I made and add custom glass toggles.  It’s just one more touch that makes pieces fully artisan-made.

You can’t see it, but in this one there is a strange little work around on the toggle to attach it to the stringing wire that I’m not fully satisfied with.  I just took a one day class with Sara Sally LaGrand where she showed us how to attach wire into beads and that is the missing piece I’ve been needing.  I do believe it’s coming together nicely.
