Plum Nuts (Necklace in Progress as of Mar. 5, 2014)

Plum Nuts (Necklace in Progress as of Mar. 5, 2014), a photo by randubnick on Flickr.

This is a necklace I started yesterday. I began with a large plum-colored dyed wooden bead, then started added some incised beads for texture, some silver beads for shine, and some wooden beads in various shapes and colors. I reworked the patterns and sequences of beads several times to come up with pleasing combinations. I worked on this necklace for longer that I planned to but it was still not finished, so I tied it off and took this photo. To be continued. . . .
