AYLI, I like your earthtone one better as well. It feels gentler to me.

AsYouLikeIt, I really like those necklaces you make! Very gorgeous, love the beads you're using.

I like long necklaces too, I don't know why, but I don't like shorter lenght necklaces, they're a bit more boring in my opinion. Longer ones are like meant to be fun and carefree. Very boho vibe, love it!

I've a million and one. I have a lot of them hanging on the sides of my mirror. I have to be careful to balance the weight or one of these days I'm going to get 7 years of bad luck.

Thank you! I am just using some beads I got cheap. I tend to buy bags of random beads, then sort out the colors I want for a given project. It tends to be cheaper that way, plus you get a wild variety. I love the "lucky dip" aspect of it.

Michael's Craft has these wonderful little plastic tubs with like 2lb of beads in them, all mixed up, for like $4. Plus I sometimes get bags of assorted beads in a given colorway--greens, reds, rusts, yellows...different shapes, tones, and styles, all mixed up. Those are like $1.80 for 50g. The earthtone necklace had some of the Michael's mixed beads, and some from a packet of earthtone beads, plus a lampwork bead I had around, and the blue one is entirely out of Michael's assorted beads.

That's awesome that you make your own stuff You are getting me inspired. What do you use to string the beads on (like fishing wire or something?) and then how do you connect the ends.....I'm clearly not knowledgable on this stuff Teach us, Teach us!!!

I was planning on making my own long necklace, I was thinking since it's long I can just tie the ends and pull it over my head, or, well you know what I mean?

Give me a little bit and I will post a tutorial in the "Making your own jewelry" thread.

 

[m4ryb3ar]

i really like the long knotted ones too, any suggestions?

 

[missy-t1]

As You Like It: these necklaces you make are cool! You have to teach us how to make our own, Blue Peter style!

 

[liberty33r1b]

i'm planning to stack up on long necklaces now, this thread is really inspiring!

They had some long, quite heavy looking necklaces this season, at Proenza Schouler and Anna Sui, they really caught my eye. As You Like It, I love your necklaces, I have something similar which I bought in Paris years ago.
