Tallbabydoll Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 This is my first with seed beads. I have a love/hate relationship with those little things. Love the way they look, hate trying to find the hole to string them lol. I dont like the way the strings near the clasps seperate, but when on they stay closer together, so I guess it's ok. I dont like these earrings. Think I'm gonna take em apart and loop em instead of hanging straight down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Late Night Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 You have more patience than I do. I love the black though. It looks elegant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doris Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 A friend of mine does a ton of seed bead jewelry, she will sometimes loosely braid three strands of seed beads to keep them together. You can also make the dangle on the earrings as 3 separate dangles, or braid them as well.If you buy them strung, you can just slide them onto your needle right off the strand; strung seed beads are usually more expensive, but in some cases well worth the expense. It makes counting them easier as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallbabydoll Posted July 10, 2007 Author Share Posted July 10, 2007 TY everyone for the compliments.Doris, I wanted it to look uniform, and I didn't make the sections between the other beads long enough to braid, so I didn't want to braid the back strings. I did originally make the earrings with the 3 strands dangling loosely, but didn't like it, so I added the last silver bead, and still dont like them lol. What I've decided to do is remake them in the style I used with the purple beads and AB crystals (my 2nd set that I posted on another post). The large black bead will be the middle, horizontally, with the other beads coming out each side going up to the hook creating a loop. I think they'll look much classier in that design, and therefore go better with the necklace. Thank you for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
