Mermaid necklace

Mermaid? Not me, but the name of a necklace that is found in a book I borrowed from the library long time back. My little girl fancies Ariel, so she asked for this necklace (actually a part of a three strand necklace) to be made for her. However, it is not easy to get the identical beads so I have to find similar ones from my "collections". After stringing it, I put it aside for a long time before I finally finish the clasp, because I can't decide how long should this necklace be, and I am not sure if it is suitable for a 5 year old. Anyway, after dragging for so long, I just decide to close it and complete the task. There is still another WIP item. Here's the necklace.

 

美人魚是我女兒喜歡的公主。好久以前， 她從圖書館借回來的書上看到這條項鏈（其實這只是一部份）的名字叫美人魚，就吵著要。我從我的“珠堆中”找了接近的珠子串了給她。真想不通，才五歲的小女孩，怎麼會那麼愛美。

More beading projects

Wasn't baking anything new, and couldn't bake in the nights,
so went to do some beading projects.

My sister in law in msia wanted a crystal bracelet she seen
in a shop near my in law's house. So I made this one for her.

The one she seen is something similar but has no space in
between. I feel that it will be too much of crystals if so, thus i 
did the bracelet this way . Not sure if she
like it. Her daughter has taken the previous chain I made.




Saw the above necklace on a TCS star in the shipyard drama
shown quite sometime back. Like what I seen, so try
duplicating the style, but like previous, after it is completed,
it doesnt look that lovely.



Saw this on my boy's classmate's mother few weeks ago.
After taking a closer look (she lend me), and a few tips from
her, i manage to create another. She told me she also like it
after she seen it on someone else thus she duplicates.
Its silver balls on a tiny silver ball chain. I guess this can be
 wore to a wedding dinner with normal office attire. Not 
an easy job because got to squeeze the balls into the chain. 

夜晚的时间我比较空闲，孩子睡了嘛。夜了又不能太吵，
不能用搅拌机做蛋糕，所以就找些首饰来做。紫色手环是给
大嫂的，看她喜欢吗。蓝色珠蝴蝶链是跟着一套戏主角所戴
而仿制的。银珠链是跟儿子同学的妈借来跟着仿制, 可惜戴在我
身上不比在她身上好看。哎呀， 怎么都是仿制品。都怪我艺术细胞
不够。不过美的东西谁都会想要得嘛。

Simple Crystal Necklace

I found this quite sweet looking from the book, so I duplicate it,
however with different kind of beads and different colour.

It doesn't look so nice after I completed it. I think I still like
the original colour of blue and grey better.

By the way, anyone has any idea how much will such a necklace
be sold outside?

A not fanciful necklace

I hope I get to wear this more often, since it doesn't look fanciful.
I saw a lady wearing this design when I bring my kids to gym one
saturday and think the design is quite casual. Lets see if this
casual simple necklace will be put to use at all.

I am even tempted to make similar one with different color beads.

Purplish Lariat Necklace

 

Did this long necklace from 2 plus to 4 plus (am) on thursday so
the whole of thursday I am so zombie.

I got the design and steps from the book "Bead fantasies", but the
beads used are slightly different. Its really difficult to get the same
beads. I hope I get the chance to wear it.

The dimention given in the book is too long for me, so I altered it. 
Looks pretty to me thou. All comments welcome (for
improvement mah :-) ).
