One of the things I have planned to do for 2011 is to finish up some necklaces and bracelets that I have started. I thought I might be able to motivate myself if I blogged about them on a specific day each week. Hence the title for this blog post today.
The necklace above is one I began last summer. Got stuck and moved on to other things. When I began to work on it this week, it look almost like the pic below:

Well I have met my goal for this week. The one I have picked for next week only needs a little more to be finished so I should be able to get that one posted as well.
Thank you so much for joining me today and boosting my motivation to finish up.
It's GORGEOUS! And what a great idea for a weekly feature. I have some UFO's of my own ;o)

ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by Stegata. I am delighted you like the necklace. I have more unfinished pieces than I thought. This may go on for some time.
ReplyDeleteHi Janet, So good to hear from you. I love to do peyote stitch but often get "stuck" which is why I am doing this. Just too many unfinished pieces hanging around here. Your enthusiasm is much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea.....to bring those abandoned projects into the light :)
ReplyDeleteI may try that myself to get them finished...
Also that necklace is FANTASTIC
I find many of those bead-weaving pieces just tooo much (overworked)
and this one is so perfect and artful!
Hi Birgitta,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment and observation about bead work often being over worked. Being this simple is new for me and I am interested to know that you like it. I found it a great pleasure to make.
