Flip Flop Turquoise Beaded Necklace | The creator of this piece says: I like to recycle everything, including my beads. To make this necklace I re-used turquoise chips from a pair of flip-flops. I worked with two different lengths of bead stringing wire. On the longer part of this necklace I alternated the turquoise chips with glass seed beads. After several different trials I decided to use less turquoise and more seed beads on the shorter string.
After I finished this necklace I decided to adorn it with a simple pendant that I made from a glass turquoise-colored pearl, sterling silver head pin and a few complimenting beads. It gave it a different dimension.
Two rows of turquoise chips can be a little bit rough on the neck and that is why I used only seed beads finished with a silver toggle clasp on the back part of the necklace. It is 13.5" long. |
About the Artist: Anna JamersonI like nice things. I like people's creativity and I admire the risks many of them take.
I am from Slovakia and I moved to the USA in 1995. I live in Kensington, MD with my husband John and my son Ondrej.
I made my first necklace after I lost an earring that my future husband gave me. The one that I did not lose ended up on a little necklace I made for myself. Making beads became my hobby about 5 years ago, Everything I know I have taught myself and I still keep learning. I find beading very relaxing and soothing. Most of the time I bead early in the morning before everyone wakes up... just me, my beads and my cat watching. I donate some proceeds from all my jewelry to American Cancer Society to honor my sister in law who died from cancer. View Anna Jamerson's website at MyFunBeads - Beads for any occasion.
