My daughter loves aqua, and her best pal loves pink (kind of obvious by the photos :-)), so I pulled out all of the beads I had that might work. I added a tiny bit of pink to the aqua one, and vice versa, for little remembrances of each other.
The pendant is a floral bit of antique lace in a soldered frame, with a little rhinestone cross charm (the two girls had been very active in Young Life together all through high school).
Well, the girls seemed to love them (I never know for sure if they are just being polite, or if they sincerely like them. The last few years have had most of my suggestions and choices met with eye rolls, so I've begun to doubt myself! :-)). Anyway, I like them, and who knows?--I may even start to do more beading.
AS I told you before I really like them too. I think the girls liked them but in time will treasure them as they are miles apart.
ReplyDeleteThey turned out beautiful!! Yikes, I cannot imagine bending all those loops but I agree about that rosarie look, I love it as well. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteMy initial thought was that they were a rosarie too. They are so beautiful ;D
ReplyDeleteYou're so talented
(Have to say I love that 'woof' in your sidebar!
They have turned out very creative and beautiful. Hugs Judy

It's no surprise that they loved them. I love the colors you chose and the pendants are gorgeous. Lots of work putting together a chain one bead at a time, but it was worth it.
