Yep, I finished my necklace a few days ago, but just got around to taking photos and posting them. Here they are.





So there it is. Tah Dah! How I worked this up is like this. I did a peyote band, then hung the shell coins on the bottom. Then I just took some assorted colors that went with the shell coins, and attached them spike style. This one took a few hours, but believe it or not, I think I got the spiking done in about 6 hours total. Probably about a 10-12 hour project for me.
Now to show you what I started two days ago. First it is a double spiral rope. This is from a design in Bead and Button Magazine by an artist named Alicia Shems. You can go to Bead and Button and find this in their designs to download. So I just started it on Thursday Night and I did some work to it just to get a good start for Friday night. Here was my first hour of progress or so.



I just wanted to get my colors together, and try a little trial to see how it would go. So for Friday, I think I added about 6 more inches to this one. Total of about three hours after Friday.




Now that it is Saturday, I’ve finished about 11 inches of it. A few more inches to go. At this rate maybe I will be able to get some Christmas presents done after all. This is only the second spiral rope that I have ever done. I really like how they come together. This is a little different version of it for sure.
As for now, I think I’m catching a cold. I’ll see you guys later, and thanks for dropping in.
