First stringing project

[lary007]

Got the thread today! Ended up using forest since the storm color was in the larger thread and it just didn't work with the drill holes. When I looked at them originally I thought they looked larger than normal but I guess not.

I still think the forest looks good, but if I want to change it out I know how to now!

Took me 4 hours but I finally got it done. Since it's so late I'm not up to taking pics, but I will tomorrow!

Ringed Tahitians are my favorites!! I just made a bracelet using Beader's Secret in Navy, which looks like a dark teal to me and it looks fine! You have some beautiful peals there! Can't wait to see the finished project!

So, here's some pictures of it. It's definitely not perfect, but I'm still proud of the fact that I actually did it. I like the clasp with it a lot. I really like the beader's secret too. That made it much easier for me to get done!

Thanks for the support with this! I'm not ashamed to admit that the only thing that kept me going last night was the fact that I knew I wanted to be able to show the finished product to ya'll.

Well done! That was a lot of knotting for your first stringing project, but now you're a pro!

Lary, That is some outstanding project accomplished and that you can be so proud to wear! You chose the perfect clasp for it also! You will never be bored in a meeting when you can look down and admire your Tahitian pearls, lol!

Lary007 - What a huge project to start with !! I'm impressed with your work. Well done, nothing is ever completely perfect ( well certainly not my things ) and the more you knot the better you get !! Great start !!

Nicely done, Lary! The clasp is perfect

 

[JerseyPearl]

Wow! I am super impressed that you began with a difficult task...knotting a rope! You did a great job. And I have to say that the clasp you chose really works beautifully with those pearls. Good work!!

Lary, awesome work. I also just finished my first stringing. Took me 4 attempts. Yes I agree showing it here really acts as a motivation.
