Squares and Spheres Beaded Necklace



I made another necklace today, with wooden spheres and squares, accented with brown metallic beads.  I put the design together on waxed cotton cord, and tied many, many knots.  The necklace is long enough so that it doesn't need a clasp.  It is asymmetrical and can be worn back-to-front or even sideways.

Beaded Necklace with Wood and Copper-Colored Metal


I made this necklace today, with two kinds of wooden beads, and copper-colored metallic beads incised with a spiral design. I strung these on a black waxed cotton cord, making knots as I went along to keep the beads in place and create the design. (Let me tell you, those knots are in there forever, as I found out when I made a mistake.)  I made sure to make this long enough so it doesn't need a clasp.  I am pretty happy with how it came out.  So the question is, should I keep it or sell it?
