The return of more art around to be put on the scanner bead because it isn't perfect!

I am obviously post 'working with yellow' breakthrough here. The fairly classic 8 sides star seedbead pattern is so nicely lacy and delicate I wondered if I could make a choker for a friend by chaining a few togeather. This is my mock up.

I liked the color balance. The thread is visible, so the real one was made with golden yellow thread. I like to finish knots with glue, but this glue spread badly. The frosted effect of the spread glue isn't bad, but not what I wanted. Attaching the stars at only one arm leads to a lot of flipping and folding, so I attached the real necklace as two points. The real necklace was finished with pearls in place of bells. The earrings were taken down to a single drop in place of three. It had golden ribbon at both ends so it could be tied to suit.

I'll try to get a scan of the real one later. I still think the mock up is very pretty, and about 95% wearable as either a choker or bracelet. I like bells in bracelets more than necklaces. All it would take is some ribbon.
