A Quick Update

Hello to you all!   Thanks for dropping in here today.  I have a quick update to my project for the challenge, A Time to Stitch.  You can find my post about what I made and the challenge hosts and participants here.  At first I didn't know what I wanted to do about a necklace for the pendant and then I ran out of time to make what I decided on.  I wanted to make a chain that wouldn't distract from the pendant.  The  holidays came along and I didn't get to it.   By the day of the reveal I had a few links done.  Over the weekend I finished all the links and jump rings and tumbled them in my new Christmas gift, a tumbler!!!  Here is the necklace completed.


 
 
 
 
I'm very happy with the finished necklace.  The chain coordinates with the pendant but doesn't distract from it.  I used a finer wire than I wanted but the color was perfect and it fit through the holes of the Delicas. I also used some of the fire polished beads in the links. 
 
That's it for today.  I wanted to share the finished piece because some of you kindly said that you would like to see it finished.  I hope you have  great day and get the time to bead or do whatever your do to feed your creative spirit.   Thank you so much for visiting with me today.

  3. The perfect support for the woven pendant! The little details (fire polishes and double jump rings) are enough to catch the eye but not too much to distract from the star of the show. Have fun with that tumbler!
