I am in the throes of a serious bead addiction.
Today’s project is an aqua gemstone and quartz knotted necklace accented with Swarovski rondelles.
I may try listing some pieces on Etsy soon, if only to fund new pretties

I love that one – so pretty and so chic! Very nicely done. Color me impressed.
wow that is really pretty! i love the color and arrangement! you have a serious talent for making these! i’d totally buy one!
Shannon- the necklace is spectacular! You are incredibly talented. I went to Micahels after your post to look for beads and more, but their selection was so blah. Then,luckily someone posted about on-line stores nd I found a variety of intresting things. I still need to figure out how to tie the knots. Did you buy a book or just found info on-line?
It’s an amazing hobby, and rewarding at that!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this. What a beautiful piece. You are so talented!
wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, sign me up for buying too. you could probably just keep yourself in business with the jcas that follow your blog.
Shannon, that is such a pretty necklace! You’re going to be addicted to making jewelry before you know it!
Thanks so much everyone!!
Slastena- Online, it is just a regular knot (over hand?) using tweezers to get it nice and close against the bead
Another beautiful piece. Those that can’t do will buy. You definitely should Etsy.
Shannon;
My exact words when I saw this: “Gosh! That’s pretty!” I really like this, especially the little crystal accents. You are really inspiring me to make my own jewelry!!
This is gorgeous. You certainaly have talent. I would love to buy one.
Shannon-
If you are looking for a Target pearl cluster necklace, the Tacoma Target on Union had two today, full price. Don’t remember if you got one or just went with the F21 version.
Love the necklace in the post, looks very jcrew!
I love the colours you’ve used this one, it’s gorgeous.
Shannon, I have to agree with everyone else – that necklace is fab! I hope you put them on Etsy, because I want one
Shannon, you have a natural talent in making necklaces. They are so pretty. Are your beads 8 or 10mm? What size are your rondells?
Love it! The color of the beads is gorgeous. Hopefully you start selling by Wednesday…I’m giving up shopping for Lent (except for a bag I’m waiting to go on sale but I’ve been waiting for a month so it doesn’t count).
) It is great that you can turn a hobby into a profit!!
Absolutely beautiful!
I MUST HAVE IT!
Shannon, that looks great! I am totally addicted now too (and have you to thank for inspiring me!).
I want one! What a lovely piece — you are a master at making necklaces!
I swear I just posted a comment but it is not showing up… Too much cold medicine I guess>>>
Lol. I will make a new post instead
This necklace is just exquisite!
