I am known for making things and then demolishing them for use in either a re-do or a different project altogether. My husband is always like didn't you just make that......? But it is how we improve! I am just thrilled I found a technique that works so well.

That is amazing! If I found that in a thrift shop I would keep it, not sell it! I do wish I would find something like that, imagine how exciting that would be!

Thank you very much! It is funny how I really wanted it longer but once I sorted out the less pretty pearls I love the look at this length. Thank you so so much! I was honestly pretty impressed with how it came out, but I know it's not me, it's the tutorial! I've been knotting for awhile and...

Thank you Pattye and Charlotta for the advice! I finished the necklace! Thank you so much for the help here, I improved my method SO much and this is the nicest finished project I have ever gotten. Also the Beader's Secret is about 5 million times better to use than silk. I love it, I don't...

Here is the finished product! Thanks to the stringing tutorial from PearlDreams and some additional help and advice from that thread I have learned to actually knot pearls properly (I was doing it before but not this method, and not this neatly, and definitely not as well). I took the good...

Thank you so much for your welcome! I am glad to be here. The idea of "scuba pearls" is very impressive indeed, I've never seen anything like that! You sound a bit like me...I am also kind of reclusive (hello, social anxiety) so I just always dress for myself and figure that's enough. I...

Thank you! I have so many of CC's items on my wish list!

Haha, that is the truth! And thank you very much!

Thank you all so much! I don't think I would have chosen these if not for the great advice from here!

I have to admit, I do like the splotches of color. But I would not want to be told they are high quality and get something I did not expect to get. I just like oddly colored things, and I love confetti patterns lol :p They would make a fun cheap bracelet, if they were indeed cheap, otherwise, no.

Thank you so much! I really like them a lot! I was so surprised by this for me, as a pendant on a chain tends to really bother me where it hits but a bead or pearl necklace where the weight is evenly distributed does not. It like a poke vs. a hug. I have a small son with autism and he likes...

Thank you so much! I was really delighted with the quality of the tiny studs...and they are my first-ever Akoyas!

I got them! They came so fast and are really really nice. I am wearing them here with my lavender studs from PP.

Picture! Picture! Here is the necklace! The lighting in the picture is not great though. It is just lovely and I actually love the weight of it, and find it rather soothing, so I am not afraid to get large pearls in the future. I am so happy with it, and hope to get more of her pieces.

Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't even think about them being a seller! :eek: I will cruise some of the other threads for info about buying loose pearls to string. Forgive me, I'm very new!

I hope this is not too far off topic to ask you where do you get the tiny (or even just really small) pearls? I am considering a necklace idea and no idea of a reputable place to get tiny fwp. Thank you!

Ok, that is very different from what I have done! i"m very glad you cleared that up. I will sit down tonight when I am not being mobbed by tiny people and experiment with your instructions and my supplies. Thank you SO much for helping with this!

Thank you for responding! I think this is a dumb question but....where is the tail coming from then? I know obviously where the tail at the end is from but I do not have a tail when I start off so that confuses me. I have one strand with pearls on it and one strand with a needle on it and the...

I have a question, I am seeing from the tutorial that after you initially loop back through the first few pearls you continue making knots using only one strand (the strand the pearls are on) rather than continuing to knot AROUND the pearl strand with the additional strand. I have always...

I know! I don't know why they are so picky!
