Yes, another one

This one started as a long loop necklace.  I love those purple and silver beads still, and found a fun chain that worked well with them.  Yes, all those silver loops are part of the chain!

Then, klutzy me caught it on something and popped part of the chain.  Rats!!  I now wear it as a lariat.  Interestingly enough, it still works, and I'm still trying to decide if I want to fix it!

Thinking of lariats, this one was meant to be one from the beginning.  My rainbow lariat, as I term it.  And yes, you might recognize the silver beads on the end as leftovers from another necklace.  Too pretty to go to waste, and they gave just enough weight to the ends of the necklace.  Perfect!

This one was just fun, no other word for it.  Cute kitty pendant, fun mixed assortment of beads, and to top it all off, a kitty clasp!  I did have to make my own bail (the part than hangs the pendant from the chains) but other than that, a very easy project.  I just strung all the mixed beads onto one length of wire, then measured it off into even lengths, dividing the one long stretch of beads into four.  I added the clasp, and then hung the pendant.  Ta-da!

So, I think I'm now caught up at the moment with all my necklace projects.  So, maybe now I'll be able to catch Zach and get some help catching up on the knitting project photos!
