Driftwood

This was probably the piece I have been proudest of so far :D


This next one was another attempt to make a 2 strand cord necklace. I'm not sure whether its any good or not as I don't really like pink lol.


Pink cord necklace

So the next skill I have been learning is to work with waxed cord, leather and cotton. I already had the heart pendant in a stone and had decided to use this for my necklace alongside some larger beads I had set aside previously. I chose the pink leather cord as the beads were clear and I felt this would showcase the beads and cord quite nicely. 


I’m not too sure on the effect of this type of jewellery and I found it quite difficult to do. A couple of times I discovered I had made a mistake, once forgetting a knot and another with the distances being uneven, correcting these errors was more time consuming than with other techniques attempted so far.
