got me a buncha pearls last weekend, took apart one old necklace i had, and oooops. (this isn't including what i've already given away/wrapped up for presents)

 

[juliebeth]

The Rope. as long as the thread allowed...

 

[juliebeth]

none of those are as grey as they appear in evening light taken with my iphone....

 

[Caitlin]

Ooooops, indeed! That is some great production of beautiful items! Good for You!

 

[juliebeth]

some pearllunar lavender near-round (egg-shaped) pearls went into the mix here:

and a better shot of the long rope from above - THIS is what it really looks like. i love these colors!

Oh, WOW! Those are so pretty and creative! Great combinations, Juliebeth! Bet you have plenty of "looks" coming your wear when you wear these!

 

[Caitlin]

I agree. I love those long potpourri necklaces, They present something new at every turn. Yours have a pleasurable range of pearls!

 

[juliebeth]

thank you! i've been mixing them up with a cheapy (but pretty) strand of pink-white-grey pearls that happens to be the exact same length (i must have an eye for 36"?). LOVE THEM!

this one, i'm not so sure about - got some pretty, large, and pricey (for me) pondslime ripple pearls at intergem last weekend (these aren't the largest, or ripply, or pricey-est, just the ones i'm using first) from wu's originals (yes go see him! too fun!) and mixed them up with some other pearls i've had and some blue chalcedony - what do you think? i can't decide.



here are some less blurry (i hope) images:



and i love them in a pile!!

 

[pattye]

Oh, the pastel colors flow really well! You have some yummy pearls there!
