All Stoneware, All Handmade Beads on a Slip Stitchery Necklace


OK, so I did measure the finished length of the wrap
 - 82" - 
but I didn't count how many beads I used.


I find I have extra "perfectly fine" beads because, 
when I make beads for earrings, I usually make 3,
 just in case there is a mishap in the firing...


More often than not I really don't know how many beads
 I will need to make a finished necklace or bracelet,
so I just make plenty...


In the end, I wind up with a nice array of handmade 
and hand formed beads which only have 
one thing in common...CLAY!


And they are what I used to make this fun piece!

The MEDEA Necklace


This triple strand necklace simply made itself...


The magnet closure makes it an easy wear!



Slip Stitchery Jewelry - Necklaces and Bracelet Wraps


What's better than a handmade necklace of  Bon Antique
Picasso beads, Tibetan DZI Rounds and Mykonos
oxidized copper flakes and fish closure...


A bracelet that can be either a bracelet or a necklace
and contains all of these things!


This one of Bon Antique Picasso tubes, teal waxed
linen cord, lime-blue glass Rondelles and a hunk of
semi-precious rock does the same thing...

It's both a necklace or a bracelet wrap!
