an alluring necklace


I got the idea from a book a borrowed from the library. It uses fishing tackle specifically: barrel swivels with interlock snaps and leader wire. I really, really like it - there is something delicate about it without being frilly that appeals to me.

I wrote a tutorial that you can find on Suite101.

  1. I remember making these in high school, minus the beads. I like this new take... and it's something my daughter would love.

  2. This is really neat. It is almost lacy looking. Saw you on Kathy's blog and came to visit.
