Hello everyone. I've been a long-time lurker, but I've only posted once before. I recently bought some freshwater exotics, and I wanted to share some pictures of what I did with them. I've been having tons of fun reworking my strands, and all my knowledge (and courage) to play around with my pearls has come from Pearl Guide. I'm very grateful to all the experienced beaders who are so willing to share information.
I ordered the 6.5-7mm pearls. When they first arrived, I kept taking them off so I could admire the color and luster of the pearls. I finally just wrapped them around my wrist so I didn't wear the clasp out with the constant unhooking. After several days, I decided that these pearls were destined to be a bracelet. Now I can admire them all the time. The leftover pearls were used for a tin cup necklace.
