I have a model!

It is great to see someone wearing something you made. Even nicer when it looks great on them. This is my very good friend Connie wearing a necklace I made.

Connie put in a request for a necklace of pink, grey and red. I tried to make in Czech seeds beads but those colours just didn't work with the range available.  I ended up using Chinese seed beads which have nice colours but aren't very uniform in size. The grey bead is hematite which looks dark grey and has shine, the red and pink beads are opaque.The whole length of necklace was picking and choosing right shaped beads. This process probably doubled the time it takes to make a standard necklace. The result was worth all the effort and my friend has a nice necklace to show off.

It also seems Hong Kong has a graffiti vandal with the tag of Skunk! I hope the police find and take him on a harbour cruise dragging him by his toes!
