So a while back, I teased a project. In addition to some sewing, I did a little jewelry making. Thought you’d like to see the fruits of my labor.
These earrings and necklace I made for my mom. Similar (but not identical) to a set I purchased at a bead show. I did buy a lot of the same beads. My mom loved this.
Then I made this bracelet:
The problem with this is I left the string a little too loose when I was adding the toggles. But the bracelet fits fairly well anyway. Again, I used some of the same beads, some different beads, and a different design.
The jewelry was initially meant to complement this particular sewing project.
Yeah, the poor excuse for a dressform was listing when I took this shot. The dress looks so much better on a person than it does on the form.
Oh, and here’s a glimpse of the train.
So what do you think?
