The Maasai inspired necklace proved an ergonomic challenge. Not to worry though, in the last two weeks I have been experimenting with a new technique to make my own version of those large statement earrings girls are wearing.
I figured out a way to have two rows of beads on a 18 gauge brass wire, with fun semi-precious beads like turquoise, red and brown coral, green malachite (from DR Congo, hopefully it's sustainably mined) and some freshwater pearls my mom had removed off a hot floral jacket she bought a few years back (glad I kept them).
These will be debuting in June 2011. May be I will have a couple on offer online in May.
