Isn't it lovely? I really like the little pops of colour against the neutral light wood beads and how they are strung together. I think it would be fun to use some of the hot spring colours (mint, coral, mustard) to make one heck of a trend forward accessory! I'd also recommend a light coat of varnish for these for necklace longevity and I'd switch the necklace chain out for some budget friendly waxed cotton! Okay, so apparently I've given this tutorial a fair amount of thought - now to get me some supplies! What do you think? Want to join me?
I can't quite get behind the wooden beads, but these colors are awesome! I love the half-painted look.
ReplyDeleteI really like this on her, and you seem to pull off these kinds of jewels too.
ReplyDeleteI think if I was doing it I would make the beads smaller and not matte. I would also try to bring in softer elements (like stringing them on a piece of ribbon...and there I go making completely NOT what was intended.
This is too cute!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think this is super extra awesome! Let's make them when I come visit! If they're varnished it wouldn't matter if my kid chewed on it while I'm wearing it, too!
ReplyDeleteI really like it! But chunky jewellery does not really suit me, so I would probably make the beads smaller. I like how when the painted halves of the beads come together, the neutral colour of beads kind of fades out and you get an ... urgh ... French word that I can't think of right now! Do you know what I mean? It's like an optical illusion, but it's not that word. Le sigh. I'm going to be thinking about this all day now! ~_^
