Artiste!

So for Christmas my mom got me a whole bunch of beading stuff: Pliers, beads, clasps, tweezers, etc.

I haven't done much with them since then. I made a simple pair of earrings out of some of the beads she gave me, but otherwise nada. Although the pliers have come in handy for fixing some of my other jewelry.

Well behold my first project!!



I ordered this necklace from New York and Company, but didn't like how long it was. I thought it was going to be about 20" long but it was 36"! That is what I get for not reading about it before I bought it. But I loved the color and I knew I could shorten the necklace. Then, I decided to be thrifty and reuse the excess wire and beads to make a complete set!



Mind you I dropped half the beads on the tile floor twice! yeah that was fun. I am sure there is a bead or two under the couch - but luckily I found most of them!

Very nice. This could start a whole new addictive hobby, yes?
