I had prepared a completely different project for you this week:<\/strong> something involving handmade lampwork beads, lots of dangling wire wrapped components and a variety of interesting features to accent a large glass focal.<\/p>\n

However, when it came time to sit down and record the video I just didn’t feel like it!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"rose<\/a><\/p>\n

Instead my mind turned to a photo I had just come across on Pinterest<\/strong> of a very simple, yet elegant necklace. I then went digging through my stash to see if I could find two connector pieces to hold the multiple strands together. The ones I had in mind ended up not working, but I came across these pieces left over from another project.<\/p>\n

As I mentioned in the video I recently re-organized all of my beads and findings, sorting them not only by color as they have always been, but also by type.<\/em><\/p>\n

It’s only been a week or so since I’ve finished and I’ve already found the system to be much more useful in finding what I need and also seeing all the different sizes and variations I have of any one type of bead, such as these rose quartz beads, I found to my surprise I had them in 8 mm, 6 mm and 4 mm faceted (which I ended up not using in this project.)<\/p>\n

You can add as many strands as you like to this design<\/strong>, just be sure to test out the lengths before you finish up your connections so that everything drapes nicely inside each other.<\/p>\n
