Way back in August of last year I
made this necklace for the Art Bead Scene monthly challenge
I was never totally happy with the
necklace. The overall concept was good enough but the pieces just did not add
up and didn’t do justice to the large feather. What wasn’t working for me?
The shiny smooth silver plated bail
that held the blue iris pendulum bail didn’t fit in with the organic look of
the necklace
The one strand of seed beads for
the neck cord was just wimpy looking
The toggle bail was too large for
that little strand of seed beads
This weekend I took the time to
redo the necklace. Now it looks like this
I added 2 more strands of seed
beads to the necklace, replaced the bail with one made out of seed beads, making it blend in better and added a silver plated chain to give the wearer
options in the length. I also replaced the toggle clasp with a simpler lobster
clasp. It fits much better with the size of the seed bead strands
