10.31.2018 - ...and so it goes

Earlier today I was thinking about how often I wear a very simple necklace - it’s my ‘go to’ necklace. So, if it’s good enough for me… I should make more!

While I’ve always liked the simplicity of these beads on a cord… the idea that the design is always in flux appeals to me so much! The sliding-knot closure, and repositionable beads allow this piece to adjust to different necklines and perhaps different moods. The fact that there is no metal to tarnish, it can be ‘thrown” into the dishwasher for a quick cord clean-up, and that there isn’t a clasp that continually needs to be moved to the back makes this necklace even more of a joy. : )

This week, I also found myself working on a more complicated piece that left me feeling I’d spent way too much time… and hence possibly overdone the design… two totally different looks, I know. Must remember customer base is varied as well!! smiles, Jill
