I fixed it and here's the finished necklace. Just what you wanted to see - a 55 year old neck close up!
When I took the right angle weave class the instructed has us use Nymo B doubled. I see instructions for netted or woven beads using single strands of Nymo D and some with single strands of Nymo B. In this necklace you can see where I had to go through beads more than once and I don't really like that. Any suggestions?
I started a new necklace which is much prettier in real life. I've used Topaz Iris seed beads but you can't see the beautiful shading. I forget what the blue beads are called but they are cylindrical.
The necklace is beautiful. Love it!
ReplyDeleteYummmmmmmy!
ReplyDeletePretty :-), and hey, I have a neck that old. I think yours looks better. Were you thinking of bugle beads?
ReplyDeleteVery pretty.....including a neck of the same vintage as mine!
ReplyDeleteMy standard for netting is a strand of B, since you always end up passing through at least some of the beads twice. I like netting with drape and will sometimes do the stabilizing rows, a band around the top of a bag for instance, with a strand of B and the rest of the netting with a strand of A. Are you using 11's?
ReplyDeleteIt really does help to think of beadwork as fabric.
Very nice!!
ReplyDeleteI love those golden colours. And the blue's pretty - so delicate. Don't know nuffin' 'bout nymo, but...
ReplyDeleteYour beadwork is lovely!
ReplyDeleteVery nice beadwork, and the weaving...Fabulous. I knew visiting your blog would inspire me to get the creative part of me in gear...I scrolled down and picked up that recipe too! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI think that neck is looking pretty damn good.
ReplyDeleteI hope you got my note yesterday. I'm still coveting that blanket!
