I think that last necklace looks very much like Renaissance wear, as do the chainmaille pieces! I love them!

I admire how you can do the chain and bead necklace. So far I just work with tiny lengths of chain. It takes me a long, long time to figure out what beads look good together so I just stick with earrings. That way I'm just dealing with 3 beads at most!!! Ha ha I can't match clothes either! But you are doing lovely work!

You have been BUSY!! Great work and combination. It must be fun figuring out which beads you like to put together.

Have a great day and thanks for sharing. :)

Hi Shirley,

I could not give critique one way or the other - I am just in AWE of your talent. To me your pieces look STUNNING and its exciting to see what you might come up with next!

Keep it coming, my friend! I've missed you.

Love, Barb

I had to stop in and say Hi. I have missed you!
I love your jewelry! I started making some a few years ago and still have a ton of beads and stuff, but just couldn't stay interested in it and my fingers weren't always doing what I wanted them to do!!! You do beautiful work!!! I have been doing some of the book markers. Have youseen them? Silver or gold hook like things that you add beads to at the end. They are really cute and a great gift for the readers out there.I'll have to post a picture of them.
Hugs Donna

Just stoppin in to say hello..seems you and I have been somewhat missing in action..lol, love your bead work..I did some bead work on a pair of slacks in the 70's when it was stylish, got the beaded flower done but never sewed them together make the slacks..lol..when I moved last year, I found that one piece all neatly folded but not the rest of the cut out pattern..it was elephant leg pants anyway.WAY out of style LOL...hugs Jazzy
