I Adore Necklaces!


If you've been reading my blog for a while now,
you may have observed my obsession
for necklaces.

I've made one using empty tape rings.

I've made one using a bunch of lockets.

And I even made one using old t-shirts
stuffed with dryer lint.

This week, I'm making new
necklaces out of old necklaces.

I disassembled the old necklaces &
grouped the beads in this egg carton.

Lately, I've been liking "long & thin",
so this is how I strung my new necklaces.

Here's another version with the
bronze beads closer together.

Wear them together for drama.

And throw in a more modern piece.

Accessories that you can take
from beach to boardroom!
