beads,beads, beads

Ok, so first of all I have to point out that I spent some time on Vinted UK and when I checked my blog stats I saw a few views from across the pond. So shout out to my readers in the United Kingdom and Denmark! Thanks for checking me out :)

Now, on to tonight's post! I spent some time this afternoon being crafty and I made two necklaces... I will admit that one was made earlier than today but I wasn't 100% happy with it so just made some slight revisions to it before I moved on to the next one. Its my favorite thing I've made in a very long time.

It has TWO HUNDRED FOURTEEN BEADS on it, and it took a few hours to put together. I wore it out to dinner tonight, and Jordan said it was nice. He sells pretty things for a living, so I guess that means its ok. Haha!

Anyhow, I like it because it can be worn with lots of things. You can't see it, but in that first photon I was wearing it with a navy blue dress with a blue and white chevron pattern on the skirt. The necklace is also not heavy like a lot of other statement necklaces that make their statement with chunky beads and heavy chains. My necklace makes its statement with intricacy and pattern and delicate construction.

I made another one too. I haven't counted the beads on the second one, but I did make some of the beads myself. They are rolled paper beads, I thought they added a unique texture to the necklace. (I will try and get better photos of this one in the daylight)
