The Maquette - Finished



Two images of the completed necklace.

I mentioned earlier I wanted to show the design process I go through when experimenting and now I have done so.
This has been a great journey to share .

I hope you have enjoyed watching the evolvement of the necklace as much as I have enjoyed sharing it with you. 
I certainly have learnt a lot designing this piece. I know how to better manipulate herringbone to achieve what I want. I am able to do peaks and curves and change directions, add extra parts for the overall flow of design, incorporate beads etc.









From this piece the ideas I have happening for the next piece are running wild. Too many ideas, not enough hands/time.

    Hi,Patrick:
    It's beautiful:-)
    I could hardly wait for the final effect.
    Lovely colors and before all-the originality-it's something new-as I've written before.Nobody has come up to the idea like that before.It looks so simple,but it really isn't.The impression of the simplicity makes the look very elegant.The colors-I'd say universal-can be worn to everything from jeans to an evening dress.Beautiful shape and the way of stitching,also the unique closure.
    Warm Hugs-halinka-

    I do enjoy watching or at least seeing a bit of the process. I too try to show that. Your beading is wonderful. The easy of elegance.
