Not Knitting - Pearl-ing

Sometimes I just crack myself up.

Anyway, I had some of these pearls left over from another project. They are kind of apricot-tinted pearls, so they didn't match any of the smaller pearls that I might have put with them. And they didn't really go with any of the black beads I have. I thought about putting them with these giant tiger eye (kind of) glass beads, but I didn't like the look of that either. I really wanted to do something with them, but I didn't have a lot of them, to begin with.




So I decided to try something new. I made a little pearl chain. Of course, that wasn't nearly even long enough to be a bracelet. So I added some length on the ends with some champagne colored seed beeds.

That worked out really well, since the seed beads add a lot of interest if they're visible, but they are also easily hidden by my hair.

These are the same pearls, by the way, that I made the pearl earrings out of at the beginning of the month.
