Starting a WIP...take things apart!

[koolbraider]

These necklaces haven't sold for three years and I was afraid the shop owner was going to start charging me rent! So, I spent awhile taking things apart. The one with the awkward bend had been strung too tightly and wouldn't drape nicely.

Can't wait to see the design changes you make Sue.

Michele, I'm having a bit of a problem trying to get a larger pic but I think the settings on Flickr and Photobucket may need to be changed. I see that if I want to modify a post I can't change the image.

Okay, I think I got it. Had to see a pic on a single page and then the options came up. (Also found I need to do a new reply to add a pic.)

I forgot to add this one. The donut is black sardonyx. I got it late in the season and just threw this necklace together:


The flat coins are Antique Jasper and the rounds are black glass. I make up bags with possible bead and color combinations. Here's the bag for this:

The large flat black onyx slabs are gorgeous.

I think I'll add three more bag mixes:
Wood agate and blue something..


Dyed red tiger's eye and a few red shades:


Finally, this is just a mix of greens, reds, and Impression Jasper that's one of my favorite stones:

Now that you have all those beautiful beads bagged, what are you going to do with them, Sue?

It's kind of sad to rip pieces apart (thinking of all the work that went into them), but putting them back together and making something new, is rejuvenating!
