All done! The clasp is okay – I think the bar portion of the clasp doesn’t work quite right with the thin stripes of color, but I also didn’t want it all one color. Overall, I’m quite happy with the finished necklace!  It’s 24″ long, and weighs just over 100g.

My earlier post of portions of the finished projects were of these pendants/ornaments, designed by Mu, a talented French beader. She generously wrote and shared instructions to make Okno. She has other instructions on her blog, linked on the left as Schémas.

Muse-barrette-full-web

The copper color of the Muse is a richer version of my hair color, and I surprisingly have never made something beaded for my long hair.  Butterflies belong amidst flowers, so I made some flowers (documented previously on this blog), and settled the Muse on the largest bloom.  The flowers are constructed using peyote, brick, herringbone, and netting stitches.  Except for the yarn, I used all of the components provided in the kit.  The completed elements are mounted onto a large barrette that works wonderfully in my hair.

The winners of the contest have been posted, the A-M gallery, and the N-Z gallery.

Sounds like the name of a piece of art, doesn’t it?  Nope, it is what it is.  I had an idea which entailed draping layers of right angle weave (which is why there are three rectangles of right angle weave).  The rope is twisted herringbone.  I’m trying again, this time with brick stitch and square stitch.  Next attempt, peyote?!

And the source of these beads is a lovely master hank.  These are 12’s, so there are 15 hanks in a master hank.  It is a lovely thing to look at resting on my work table!
