At least one person wanted to see what I did with the wire crochet.
I made a second necklace in the meantime. The lampwork beads
in both are awful, but they're by me and annealed - they are class
beads -. They're both done on craft wire. the first one also contains
clear seed beads of Chinese origin and clear glass druks of various
sizes of ubnknown origin (Ben Franklin bead soup), the second one
has a mixture of matte light yellow to brown seed beads and small
garnet beads in various shapes and sizes, both of which were given to
me by somebody who may still lurk here (Ina, if you're still here,
please
de-lurk).

So this is what I did:

And as of this weekend I have an Etsy shop. Not much in it yet
though,
but there are some mgambo seeds.

Aloha,

Very nice Maren,
I have also done some wire crochet. I threaded about 400 beads of
different shapes and sizes on the wire. Then I crocheted about 16 feet
putting a bead every third chain.
I have done 3 of them and must get them photographed and put on my site.

Hugs
Shirley

Thank you Shirley!

Please put them on your website, I'd love to look at them.
I like all the things you make.

Thanks,
