I had a great time this morning working on two different designs for the same silver plated serpentine necklace from Rings & Things. I took a half day off yesterday and when I got home, a package of beading supplies was in the mailbox. Could a Friday be any better? It really made my day! I spent a little while last night brainstorming and digging through bead containers so I'd be prepared this morning to create!
The other design incorporates that simple little peace sign that I mentioned a while back and have been a bit infatuated with lately! :) I wired the peace sign to the wooden bead and knotted light khaki hemp cord through each of the 3 holes at the bottom of the wooden circle. This wasn't my
I took off the clasp briefly so I could run the large-hole silver plated round over both ends. The silver round moves up and down so you can move it closer to the neck if you like wearing choker-length necklaces. Or, you can move the bead close to the wood bead, as in the photo, if you like a longer necklace.
Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, these designs sort of represent my often-contradictory personality. By day, buttoned-up member of the establishment, by night (and especially weekend), free-spirited flower child.
I'm posting a tad bit early today since we want to get a good spot at the drive-in! Have a good one!

What a clever framing idea with the chain! Sometimes it just takes a little ingenuity to come up with something totally different. Pearl
Great ideas! Love the different looks you can get from one chain, of course I'm partial to the one with the peace symbol.
The peace sign inside another bead is a groovy idea!
