gemfyreI will most certainly make these again.
AND!
I finished the bracelet! Everyone was suggesting I use clamp ends and I thought they'd look all weird but I got them out anyway and threaded my three strands. I was looking at the clamp and wondering just how I was to secure the thread to it... I remembered someone mentioning seed beads... and a light went off.
Of course, you thread the ends through the clamp, then through a seed bead and tie it off (3 strands created a plenty big enough knot to secure it). The seed bead sits snugly inside the clamp and holds it all together.
Now I have a new dillemma.
The toggles and clamps are gold, I wanted them this colour for the old antiquey look. But now I want to put a few jump rings around the strands to hold them together... and I want silver jumprings. I just think the silver looks better among the beads.
What do you think? Is it an absolute sin to have silver and gold in the same piece? Should I just use gold jump rings? Decisions, decisions...
I also made a shocking pair of earrings.
