I don’t usually find time to make much more than my weekly beads for the Spectrum Challenge, but I did manage to finish this micro macrame and chunky bead necklace.

It’s quite a relief to finally finish it as I bought the red accent beads to go with the polymer clay focal bead more than two years ago!

I also made a polymer clay and wire toggle clasp to complete the necklace.

I think it would look great with a steampunk corset dress. Although, sadly, I don’t have one to check ;).

I kicked off my first week of blue by revisiting the big lentils I made for a necklace a few years ago.

I think I’ll have another go at these as individually they are slightly less interesting than I’d hoped.

They look pretty good all together, so I quickly strung them into a necklace.

At the moment, I’m pretty tempted to keep this one for myself. ;)+

I made these polymer clay beads a while back when I was making spectrum beads.

I’ve just got round to making them into a necklace.

And it’s mine, all MINE 🙂
