Art Supplies Make Me Drool
Go look at art supplies, it really juices up your Vitamin C!
Do I Hear $1?
The first time I put it together, it was fabulously asymmetrical, which I love for myself. But, I am donating the necklace to an auction, so it will not be mine. Then I thought, most people probably do not like crazy asymmetry like I do. As it is, the beads are strung randomly.
And I would like to know. Do you prefer a symmetrical design? Taking it one step further, does there have to be a pattern to the beads? Or, do you prefer asymmetry in a piece of jewelry?

Simple Jewelry Technique: Candy Corn Necklace
Start with a pre-made necklace cord. You can find them in craft stores and other places as well. They are a completed necklace with clasp attached. In some instances, it costs less to buy a necklace cord than to make one yourself. Take that 40% off coupon with you!
This one is a woven leather cord.
The trick is that you need a smaller bead under the big bead. String the floss down trough the top of the bead, out the bottom and through the small bead. Then string the floss back through only the big bead. The small bead will hold the big bead on the floss.
Then, knot the floss onto the cord. I always add a dot of jewelry glue to the knot to be sure I don't lose any beads..
Simple. Take your Vitamin C and create!
Calling it Finished
In the end, I decided against the rick rack. It was busy enough.
Have you used photo fabric that prints in your printer?

It's Bursting Out!
I do see that the future is where my focus should be. The past is past. And that makes me thankful too. I just need a reminder sometimes.
I added this page in my journal and though I would share this verse that snapped me out of it....

Quilt Piece Sneak Peek
But, this one is for quilt market and it has a definite deadline. So, I am working toward an end to the project. Here is one corner of the piece. Stay tuned for the entire thing....very soon.
Notice that only the background has been hemmed. The surface decoration shows the rough fabric edges and the floss knots. For me, the point is texture and color. It will not ever be washed, so the rough edges and knots add to the texture without adding worry about fraying and falling apart.
More stitching.......trying to work some rick rack in some place.
