Necklace in red

Yesterday I was reading some handicraft blogs again and found especially one that I liked very much. It's called Annan aarteet. She's got a beautiful blog, where she presents all her different crafts. Mostly jewelry and cards, but also some sewing and knitting. 

Once again inspired by all the lovely things I found around the web, I finally finished my first pearl necklace.


It's mostly made out of old pearls I found in my stash. I actually have quite a lot of them. When I was a teenager, I was really into this pearl-stuff so my mom bought me a lot of small glass pearls. Unfortunately I think my inspirations flew away after making only a few bracelets back then, but lately I've had some use for the pearls again in a lot of different crafts. Like this one :)

In case anyone's wondering, the music sheet underneath the necklace is Mozart's Fantasie in D minor :) I love playing that tune. It's really beautiful! But I really should practise it more... I never seem to learn some parts of it.

  1. Att pyssla med pärlor är kul. Jag gillar sånt där smått potande :) Ett par år sen deltog jag i en pärlarbetekurs på Borgå Medborgarinstitut, och gjorde bl.a. de här: sjöhästar & en orm + smycken.
    Tyvärr vet jag inte nu var mina pärlor är, annars skulle jag säkert göra mer...

  2. Dom där är jätte fina! Min moster brukar också pyssla med liknande grejer så det var egentligen via henne som jag först blev intresserad av pärlor. Problemet är bara att jag har för många hobbyn för att hinna med alla ordentligt :)
