I really like this too. No wonder it is your favorite.
A wonderful creation. I love the combination of green and gold, and especially like asymmetrical pieces.
Thank you Preethi and Toya......I too find asymetrical necklaces pleasing to the eye when they work. Over the years I have collected lots of Ghanian brass beads, but this round basket bead was given to me by a friend who lived in Ghana and I have never come across any like it in the past few years. It measures 30mm from hole to hole - does anyone know if it is from Ghana and where I might buy one/some. I like it because its not too big and heavy and great for designing with.
the colours really suit wonderfully together! I also like this style (asymmetric, irregular mode). Beautiful. I like especially the Long beads, they are very unique.
Fantastic, especially the metal beads.
Beautiful necklace Ann :)
wow lovely and bold!!
Thanks everyone and Sarah for the feature. I enjoy the challenge of making a necklace with TIV (hair beads Nigeria), .... its hard to find nice unusual ones and they are especially heavy to wear.
I have another design with the TIVs which I will post later.
Very impressive array and wonderful beads, Ann.
