my latest invention part 2.

Hi,

As I promised, just wanna talk about the 2 flowers I made yesterday. Btw, it's 6 o'clock in the morning, too early to be waking up, but too late to go back to sleep. I woke up this morning at 4, cos I remember I still had something to do with 'ebay'. Oh, I forgot to tell you, I just opened an ebay shop this week, I tell you later about this shop. But, the reason that I woke up that early is, because ebay give special price for seller to put their offering today, 50% off. But I forgot that I have to read all the message till finished, and I read it after I put all my jewelry on ebay and waking up very early, that the price doesnt include jewelry. Oh fool me...!

Ok back to the flowers I made. Both of the flowers, brown and big blue flower, I bought at Perlenmarkt, Munich. My favorit store. Although at this store everything is a bit expensive, but I love coming there, because it always give me new ideas, refreshing my brain. I remember one time, I spent 3 hours with my sister just browsing around there, and forgot absolutely that I was not very good that day, that my head ache and forgot that my husband and 2 sons were waiting in the car. That's what I love about Perlenmark. You forget everything but beads. :-)

So, the 2 flowers came from Perlenmarkt, 1-2 months ago. The brown flowers, I made exactly as I expected, as choker with lace, velour lace. I had a litle problem with the clasp, I didnt have the end piece for lace. But I remember, my other bead source, Solly, from beads per minute once gave me a clasp which I didnt know exactly how to use it before. But now I know, how to make it use. So there you go...One beautiful choker. I was thinking to give more sparkling to the lace, but then I dropped it off, I dont want to give people trouble which to enjoy, the flower or the sparkling beads. So you see, simple but elegant choker.

The Blue one, I had a little problem to figure out, what it should be. I planned to make another choker with 2 strand leather cord, but I changed my mind. I want something else. I tried with Lariat, but nope. I couldn't find a way to make the flower also as the clasp. So I try something else, looks like Lariat but it's actually a necklace. Glued the flower to the cord, and put one big handmade glass bead at the end. And ..there you go. One unique and enchanted necklace.

Btw, I dont think I wanna sell those piece. Not yet. :-)
