Let's make a necklace

This artist caught my eye years ago in the Mary Engelbriet's magazine Home Companion. I researched her name and ordered some supplies for making a bracelet. A few years later I ordered her book  Making Connections regarding cold joins...jewelry making fancy talk....but quite a publication....way over my head....

Then.... I read an article that she was making a deal with Michael's Craft Store....next thing I know her products are being sold right in my home town....and yours probably....Susan Linart Kazmer! So....I had to buy a few pieces and make this crazy necklace. If you've never tried jewelry making....they make it so easy these days....just open the jump rings by pulling one end toward you and the other end away...add it to the necklace or bracelet ring and close...that's all folks!

So make your selection at the store....Michael's Crafts sold these....choose the ones on sale it you like them.....

I selected two lengths of chains and linked them together with jump rings....added a black leather thread.....

The knots just come with the job....

guestimate placement.....you may measure it you are type A.....

open the jump ring

place the charm on the ring, add the chain and close.....

funky junk necklace ready made to wear.....I hope Donna likes this....

You could add some rusty nails...just paint with clear nail polish so it won't mess up your Easter Dress...you are wearing a dress this Easter???

Well, the LORD will love you no matter what you wear....

Ecclesiastes 3:11 " He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end."

Happy Easter! He is Risen!
