There will be a spate of posts soon when I upload all I have been making in a current swap - I think I have gone a bit OTT! At the moment though i have a necklace I made for MYSELF (that is very rare for me!) in an evening - there are small faults with it (as I am still learning) but over all I am really pleased with it



The photos look like the three strands are tangled - as when I was taking the photos I thought they were unable to be untangled - however have just picked it up - and they are not tangled - so goodness knows what happened! There are over 700 of the little beads on there - hope to get better at that oneday! Photo of the clasp - as I struggle with doing clasps - but actually was really chuffed with this one. Due to a mistake and some needed alteration the necklace ended up too short to fit round my beck - so the three big jumprings on either side of the clasp are to solve that, all three strands are actually one length of wire - strung through the clasp and the bead by the clasp to give the look of three strands.

Forgive the background - I was also photographing some christmas ornaments I have received.
