....I've kept myself busy this week with a another project from Beautiful Beaded Ropes by Jill Wiseman.

I thought it would look kinda nice in a bridal sort of version. It's made with size 15/0 beads, which would send you blind without a trusty daylight lamp :P

Wow, that's gorgeous. I love the knotty bit at the front :)
Really lovely, must have taken ages to make.
That is beautiful. Love the colour. 15's send me blind 11 is my minimum size and even that is getting problematic. Your patience is amazing.
Thanks, everyone.
It was really interesting to make.
Sue..the knots consist of two beaded rings with the two pearly ropes interlaced between them.
The even more interesting things in the project were the two beaded beadcaps. They really set the ends off.

That is really lovely, I do like the fact it is all seedies. I would have been cross eyed before I finished.
that's lovely Linda, the knot & bead caps are really effective. I love working with 15's too & would be lost without my daylight lamp
:)
Really beautiful Linda,

Wow did not realise that the beadcaps were beads from my first look thought they were silver.
That's very pretty Linda x
Linda that's lovely. I got sidetracked loading up my new website shop so I didn't get my finished yet. Mine were Kumihimo though. (Probably won't get finished now the snow has thawed ::))
Nete
Wonderful, Linda! :) :)
Wow, that necklace is rather special! I love it! x
Worth considering getting re married to wear it. (not sure what DH would say though)
Totally gorgeous.

Pretty, aren't they.
The ropes and rings to the bracelet were made in circular herringbone stitch and the beadcaps and clasp in peyote and circular peyote stitch

Beautiful!
One of the pictures that makes me go "Ooooooh" Linda. It's absolutely gorgeous.
It's lovely x
Just beautiful. I so admire your patience making this beauty. :)
Thanks for those kind words, all.
Hopefully, Tom is going to shift the cabinet containing a lot of my glass rods tonight.
He moved it in front of my worktable to give us room for the Christmas tree, and having done so, (and owing to the weight of the thing but more to the point cos of his carelessness), broke the legs completely off. I can't get to the torch till it's moved, and can't move it myself cos of my bad knee (which is a lot better- but I won't tell him till he's moved the cabinet). THEN I can get started early in the morning (about 6, hopefully).
I haven't been able to torch since way before Christmas, and have new presses and tutes to play with, so he's in big trouble if I'm not all systems go tomorrow

That's lovely. The colours work really well together.

Thanks, Sally.
Although my way back to my torching desk is clear, it's now too cold again to have the window open for the vent kit, so I STILL haven't been able to torch since before Christmas.
I have been beading again though. I restarted a UFO, a beaded box that had been left since about October, so I at least have something to do till the weather breaks.

That is beautiful Linda you must have such patience ! Im happy to do chain mail but really dont think my eyes would take threading all those tiny beads :)
It's very therapeutic ;D
