It`s just too hot today. Too hot to walk and take photos. Too hot to quilt. Too hot to blog. Just too hot.
The only thing to do is sit in the cool, in the quiet and make a necklace. I used carnelian briolettes, carnelian round beads, Swarovsky crystals and garnet round beads.
I tried to make this necklace before but the briolettes wouldn`t sit nicely and so I decided to add the small crystals...
I don`t have a bead board but always start a necklace in the centre and work on both sides simultaneously.
Like in other crafts, odd numbers are always a good thing and this necklace has 11 briolettes...I then added the garnet beads. When you receive strings of beads you have ordered online they are not always a consistent quality and so it`s important to use the best quality ones and more expensive beads where they will be seen - from the front of the neck and shoulders downwards...
After counting the beads to check there was the same number on each side, all that was needed was a clasp.
As I am fair haired, I`m not so sure these firey colours are for my colouring but I think it would look great on a brunette or a red head. Now there`s only one thing to do. Siest!
