Beaded Crocheted Necklaces

Crocheting with WIRE & BEADS! What a wonderful combination! I can thank my friend Glenda Logsdon for getting me started with knitting & crocheting with WIRE!

After working with 28 gauge wire, this is what I've come up with. Hope you enjoy.

Assorted hues of blue make up Ocean Waves. This was my first attempt at this new technique. Wasn't pleased with the clasp I used but have changed it on my next pieces.

Festival is a beautiful piece created with 28 gauge gold plated wire that really sets off the beads used. These colors are truly stunning crocheted with the gold colored wire. After the Festival, a siesta isn't' that far behind.

Harbor was created with some mixed beads I had on hand. Mix matched & tossed in a container with similar sizes. When I used the beads crocheted on silver colored wire, the colors made me think a peaceful harbor with seagulls flying in for a visit.

Party Time is just that...a celebration of color, no rhyme or reason for the selection.

I have fallen in love creating these beautiful necklaces!

Love to hear your comments!

"Rare Earth" Set

"Rare Earth" is an amazing jewelry set. The red/orange & blue/olive green tones are beautiful together. The raku ceramic beads are accompanied by olive & tan wood beads as well as black 7mm beads. Large lobster claw closures make these pieces easy to wear. Beadalon flexible wire was used to string the necklace & bracelet. Sure wished the picture show how truly beautiful the colors are.
