The red necklace is done. Once I get the finished photos done, I will post the reveal. The name has changed. The entire time I was working on it I was insistent that the name be "Apples" or some reference to apples. I really want to make an apple necklace, for...reasons, but this necklace is not it. A friend of mine had posted a picture of the work in progress to his face book page, and someone had replies with "Melisandre's new necklace." I could not get that out of my head. I have now renamed the necklace, and on the reveal I will delve into that. But it is finished. This beautiful albatross is no longer hanging 'round my neck. Well it is, I have been wearing the necklace all day, but you know what I mean. It is done.
Now I have this little guy sitting on my beading mat.
And he has some very complimentary friends.
Isn't he cute??
So anyways, down to work.
This was the first thing I ended up with. I really liked it right off the bat, but thought it needed a little something else:
So I added a lot. Toying with how to frame the bead, left out the dagger so I could play around with thread paths.
After stringing another it started to look pretty clunky. After this pic I went back to try and add the daggers at the bottom points in between the geode beads, and it just looked bad. I settled on a modified version of the first incarnation with the dagger drops.
Please forgive the change in lighting. The image below is the finished rope. I like it. I took a bunch of photos of the assembly, and plan to make the photo tutorial available when I post the finished pictures. Thinking about naming it the Pluto stitch.

And that damn turtle, well, he never did make it into this necklace.
Oh well, Another time.
Until next time, I wish you happy beading.
:)
