More Chocolate Pearls----

[pattye]

Hi all,
I got to thinkin I had a few strands of Chocolate pearls from John Tu stashed away--and there they were, off rounds, some pretty eggy, but the largest very close to 11.5--so here they are! There are some pretty overtones.







The lower one has "wheel shaped" smoky quartz spacers, and No, those are not knots on the first necklace, Yes, I Cheated, those are 1mm black silver beads, sorry, Caitlin, the knotting is not ready for public viewing yet! Soon, though, soon!!!

so many pearls, so little time

Yummy Yummy! Great job.

I have some bronze pearls from John that I was going to make into a 36inch necklace, but I misplaced them in the black hole my room has become since the flood.

Ah, someday...

Hi Pattye - nice work with the chocolates! They look fabulous - and yes, I thought you had knotted the top necklace. In the top photo - I just love the 2 strand bracelet with lovely dangles! Gorgeous!

Hi Pattye,
They're lovely; and I love the double row bracelet.

Thanks Everyone!

I find the dangles on the bracelet give a little extra weight to keep the clasp from always rolling to the top. And I can work the toggles one handed fairly well.

Hi Pattye -

Those are really nice designs! I especially like the dangles on the bracelet - it's good to hear there is also a functional reason to add that to a design. I still haven't taken the knotting plunge, but I think it's becoming time; you're inspiring me!

Hi Pattye,

sorry, Caitlin, the knotting is not ready for public viewing yet

I am so glad to see you stringing necklaces. You have an elegant sense in your work. I have many wire strung necklaces posted here. To this day Kether uses wire for many of the bracelets and necklaces she makes to sell at work (during lunch once a month)

Do you have Henrietta's book? Several members here have learned to knot from that book.
