Day 26

day 26, a photo by Annclinations on Flickr.

It took me the entire day to do this mostly-copper mock-up of my Charm Necklace for Judy. That said, I think it was time well spent. I learned a lot!

• working on a dressmaker's dummy is a great way to see how a necklace looks
• working a short-ish bit of chain into a necklace such at this isn't necessarily easy
• there is such a thing as too asymmetrical
• there is no better school than that of trial-and-error

Tomorrow I start making the fine silver components needed and begin re-wrapping the beads, in silver this time.  

If I am lucky, I might actually finish this in time for her to receive it prior to my mother's birthday!!
