I suppose it is because Christmas is approaching. I was making this pair and a friend saw them. It didn't take him long to ask if I would do a pair for his wife. Same color and all. Hmmm. I guess black and gold work well together. What I have not found yet are silver beads that I really like. I have several, but they are not exactly what I am looking for.
Anyway, I am getting faster at these. It only took me 45 minutes to make one. Not even 2 hours for the set. No, I don't charge anything for them. I give them away. It just tickles me to see someone wear them. These were for the company nurse.
Those are splendid, I’m not surprised you have people lining up for them.
ReplyDeleteI love this combination! Remind us where this pattern is available?

DeleteCorrina Meyfeldt's blog. Scroll down to find them. It is a pdf and also tells how to make a matching bracelet. I have never done the bracelet.
Ohh, how pretty. I do like the Black and Gold combo. I've made many pairs of these too. When using Black Thread I work on a white background and plenty of light.
ReplyDeleteYou about have to use a white background just to see what you are doing. I have this pattern down so well that I can about do it by feel.
DeleteOf course someone would like to wear them - they're pretty!
ReplyDeleteI use some tiny silver beads I find at Michael's that are actually clear glass but have sliver down the middle of the inner tube.
Beautiful black and gold go well together
