A Wrinkle in Time Necklace (and Earrings)

Upcycled mid-century watch faces back to back are

slip stitched together with 400 C-lon cord 

interspersed with hollow pressed brass beads...

A handmade ceramic clay button closure...

With an accompanying pair of earrings -

lightweight statements for these heavy times...

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!
