Mixed Media Necklace


This simple necklace is the only work I have managed to create in the last couple of days. I have this terrible back ache again, which also badly influence my arm functioning and makes it feel numb. Despite all the pain, I enjoyed playing with the different materials and techniques, and I like the simple look of it. The beautiful large disc beads are made from nut tree nutshell. "Nuts" is pretty much how I go now...;) I have a lot of work to do, and this backache is ruining all my plans! ;(

  2. Oh Smadar, please be careful with your back. The fact that your arm is hurting/numb probably means that there's a pinched nerve involved. See a doctor if you can to avoid future complications.

    The necklace, as usual, is gorgeous, my friend! :D

  5. Oh I am so sorry your back is hurting. I am sending healing thoughts your way!
    I love this necklace you did such a lovely job!
    I am going back to read your last post but I wanted to tell you that I love the pendent in B&B and I was wondering if it would work with round seeds too? It will look gorgeous on my holiday tree!

    Hugs

  6. Thank you so much, everyone, for the compliments and well wishes!

    Carol - I think I don't have a choice but seeing a doctor about this :( it's making me nervous already...

    Kristen - it's possible, but take into account that the the result won't be as much "fine" lined and stiff as in with Delicas.
    I have tried the two options myself a few years ago, you can see the differences in result here:

  8. Absolutely gorgeous. I hope your back feels better soon. I can imagine how tiring it would be as well as frustrating that you can't bead for long!

  11. What a beauty! I just love how you combined all the different materials and textures into this piece and still kept the design simple and clean. The way you wired the two cords together to keep it laying flat was brilliant! Sorry to hear you are in so much pain with your back. Hope you get better real soon!
