Making this necklace was very different for me for several reasons:
- I rarely do any type of stringing (I think it's a bit tedious)
- I don't make 'big' things
All that aside, I love this necklace!! I made it to brighten up a little black dress for a party because I wanted to make it more summery and it really did the trick. It's more a collar than it is a necklace, but it feels and looked fabulous. And it was very quick to go together. From shopping to complete
piece was less than an hour! All of the components are from Michael's except the turquoise heishi which I had in my horde. Also, to be completely honest, they are the only beads that are actually real turquoise, the others are dyed howlite. So, this necklace is not only stunning - but very affordable. I used beadalon cord and a simple but heavy silver clasp and extender chain. There are some small bali spacers between the large slices too.
