thanks so much for posting -- I've been eyeing those!!! they look lovely! I've purchased a few times from Wen, and results have been positive, with some much better than others but all of them fine for the price. enjoy your find!!

possible that they are spiral rope but woven with all the same size beads (instead of the typical pattern where the core is a different size)?

fusionbeads has some really helpful CGI-illustrated tutorials that give a good sense of how the weaves are constructed -- it might be helpful to compare those to the ropes you are seeing. or search etsy for tutorials -- often tutorial listings will describe the type of weave used, which is...

looks like either tubular herringbone or right angle?

GreenBling -- thanks so much for explaining your process. I have long admired Jac's pearls but have been nervous about how to make sure that what I order works together. Good to know that the vendor provided some suggestions. What a great result! Also I can't wait to see what you do with that...

thanks, greenbling. i'm curious -- how did you decide how many of each size to order to make up a full strand? (sorry if this is obvious and i'm just not catching on)

lovely!! can you tell us about the sizes you ordered? it looks like they are graduated.

so sorry this was a duplicate.

i'm not sure what size gimp pattye has (its the only kind i've tried) but i think some companies make different sizes that might accommodate thicker threads? i had a similar problem but while i was able to get the 3 strands of beaders' secret through the gimp, i wasn't able to get all 3 strands...

Fun stuff, Purranha!! These are beautiful and unique. What a cool way to show of some big pearls!

love it!!! great work JP! the bezel elements play nicely with the colorful pearls. enjoy!

thanks SunSeeker & Pattye!! i am so glad i tried stringing these. they are lots of fun (and were fun to make!)

Purranha -- thanks so much! i was inspired (as usual) by your named ropes to give this one a name. Tucs -- thank you :) My sis just texted to say she's wearing Purple Rain today (very appropriate given the weather here on the east coast!). I hope mom likes the stick pearls (delivering them on...

I've been busy at work and I'm still trying to catch up on what everyone has been up to! I did squeeze in time to finish these projects -- they had to get done for birthdays this week. For my sister, a 60-inch rope. She is new to pearls and doesn't like anything too big or flashy. She likes the...

i need a bib.

i love the silvery drops!! congrats and enjoy!

looks great, BWeaves!! and Uhura is my fave, both as played by Nichelle Nichols in TOS and as revived by Zoe Saldana (she is super bada$$ in the second movie!).

i'm late to the game but love the lariat from earlier, and the ombre is fabulous!!

lol. the pearls and thread are one thing as they don't take up much space. equipment is harder as we live in a small city house and space is at a premium. plus i already have a tumbler that's collecting rather a lot of dust. anyone want to trade a tumbler for a drill?

congrats kalmen!! that is a gorgeous rope. i've admired it before on her website. she has such a great eye for color and texture. what an amazing start to your collection!
