Chain II: Earth Tone Orphans DIY Tutorial
$9.95I had a collection of earth-tone “one-of-a-kind” beads, better known
as the ”orphans”.
Each of the beads has some interesting detail that I loved and could
not bear to part with.
I always had the idea of using all of the beads together in a long chain
necklace.
As the beads were big, the chain links had to be big too.
The organic shapes of the forged and stamped thicker gauge oval links, in
sterling silver, went well with the large beads.
The twisted copper wire jump rings added color and textural interest
to the metal components of the chain.

Chain I: Blue DIY Tutorial
$14.95Turquoise and blue is one of my favorite color combos.
Since I have lots of beads in this color palette, they were perfect for a
long chain. I got to use 37 of my beads.
A large amount of silver went into the making of the links. Feel free to
use copper instead of silver for the larger ovals and bead links.
This necklace is 104 cm long (43”) and can easily be worn double with
the use of an “S” clasp.
The mix of different shaped beads draws the eye to go all the way
around the necklace.

Asian box pendant DIY PDF tutorial
$14.95Most of the time cylindrical beads incorporated into a pendant, are set to hang vertically from a bail.
I thought it would be fun to do a horizontal setting for a change.
The bead is set at the bottom of the pendant and is free to move so you can enjoy every side.
The texture on the pendant is the result of a handmade steel stamp, using the design in closely placed rows.
This project includes a bonus mini-tutorial on how to make your own hand-cut stamps.
The pendant can be worn on a plain neck cable, a silk ribbon, or a chain.
But it looks especially well threaded onto a beaded Kumihimo cord made with matching glass beads.
