New - The Interlocking Loops Necklace

Okay, I finally finished the chunky links necklace I was working on, and it's now in my Etsy Shop.  I absolutely love this necklace it drapes beautifully, the length is great, it closes in the back with an easy beaded toggle, and it is so comfortable to wear.  I designed this necklace using 2 of my favorite colors which happen to be on trend right now!

 

The matching earrings compliment the necklace perfectly and are also really comfortable to wear.  I plan to offer a tutorial for the earrings in my shop soon.  I also will be making another set like this in a different color combination - stay tuned!

  

Back to the Beads (for a minute)

I'm currently finishing up this necklace made up of large loops.  It was inspired by a necklace worn by a national news reporter.  The stitch I'm using is cubic right angle weave or CRAW for short. This is a stitch I learned a few years ago from a David Chatt tutorial.

I thought it was a neat stitch at that time if you wanted to make geometrically shaped jewelry.  Now I appreciate the stitch for the beautiful drape it gives my pieces, and it's much more fun to work with.  The colors I used in this necklace are 2 of my favorite and are on trend for 2014/2015 season.
