Network Necklace! (An actual bead post!!)

[Beadbimbo]

This was in the April B&B, and I had to try one.

I thought I'd show the progression, so if you just want to see the finished
necklace, skip down to photo 5asm.

The base:

Half-way embellished:

The finished piece:

Trust me, the photo does not do it justice!!

I even had a giftcard from Christmas that I hadn't used, so I bought a
blouse to go with the necklace. Hubby got a kick out of the idea buying
clothes to go with beads. What can I say/ He just doesn't get beads!

And if you made it this far, I have one more Easter picture to share. I
think Caesar and Bella got on the computer when I wasn't looking:

The necklace looks wonderful. You have done a marvellous job.
Loved the Easter pictures.

Jerri,

just _when_ do you do all this?!
- Of course it's gorgeous. Never seen anything from you that wasn't. -

Thanks, Maren! I did this one over the past couple of weeks. It really goes
pretty quickly. (One day, I will actually time how long it takes to make
something.)

I look forward to working with the kids in my bead class on Friday. I'd
shown them the magazine and told them I wanted to try it. I think they will
be excited to see it.

Wow! What kind of blouse did you get to go with it? I've never quite
figured out how to wear a necklace like that. We need a photo of you
modeling the necklace and blouse.

Cute picture of Bella and Caesar. Umm. What happened to Spike? (I
hate to ask.) We have an old girl too. Crazy Australian Heeler.
Getting really slow and kind of out of it. But what a lot of
personality.

Thanks, Tina! I might send you the picture privately, but, ugh! I'm not
posting a picture of myself! Too old and fat!

Spike is fine. I just didn't subject him to the photo shoot this time.
Here's one of the boys that I took the other morning. I heard an "Oooooof"
which I think was the sound of Caesar being squished, but it was a cold
morning, so he didn't mind:

Loading Image...

Spike is 8 1/2 and has slowed down only slightly. He still loves to chase
the ball, but now about 10 times with the ball launcher will do instead of
30-40! (A nice break for the arthritis in my shoulder.)

A friend of mine has a Blue Heeler/Australian Shepherd/Border collie mix. I
always want to ask her what possessed her to get this dog, especially since
she and her husband both worked at the time!

Oh good. I'm glad Spike is OK. Stella, the blue heeler, came with
Pete. I'm not sure why anyone would choose that breed either! Except
that yes, they do have strong personalities!

You don't look old or fat. That is a great picture of you and of the
necklace. Thank you.

Feeling short changed on a picture here ...
(Jerri, I think a few of us are older than you, and the last picture
of
you I looked at you weren't exactly fat either).

Wanna see too ....

Nice necklace. Very intricate. It reminds me of the netting (with
embellishment) that in in a netting book by Varvara that I just recently
got. It is weird that you post something so similar, lol! Have you ever
checked out her work?

Hi Val,

I have her coraling book. Is that the one you're talking about or does she
have something new out? I've made two necklaces out of that book. Lol. I
bought it when I didn't have a clue how about the techniques. I just
thought the book was so pretty!
