I decided to try and finish up some stringing and clasps today on some older projects that were almost, but not quite, finished. I ended up finishing 3 before lunch!
One is a pink quartz cabochon surrounded by lots of faceted garnets. I continued with more garnets in the stringing. The second a lovely purple stone that I enhanced with a crystal at the bottom. Strung with off drilled freshwater pearls, swarovski crystals and more garnets it is perfectly set off by a sterling handmade clasp. And the third is lovely apple green cabochons that I paired with burgundy, black, gold and more green seed beads with matching faceted glass beads. I made a pair of earring to match this one and was the more pleased with this out of the bunch. I tried some new techniques with joining the cabochons together and like the effect I got. I don't usually do fringe but this one just seemed to call for it.
Now I am off for more organizing and to search for more unfinished projects!
