'Let's Twist Again' #1

Here is a picture of the gorgeous blue/black AB glass spiral beads that gave me the inspiration for my 'Jukebox Jewellery' range of beady stuff.

So here it is folks,

the very first piece for my

'Jukebox Jewellery'..

'Let's Twist Again' #1

It was a pack of the gorgeous black AB glass spiral beads on this pendant that gave me inspiration for this range,
(well okay there's only the one piece at the mo. so probably can't be classed as a 'range' just yet!!, but 'acorns and oak trees'. if you know what I mean).

The spiral bead is threaded onto a silver head pin and topped with a blue silver lined glass bugle bead just to give it a bit more depth..which now forms the pendant

That's attached to a Tibetan silver bail bead which I've threaded onto 2mm black waxed cotton cord, then held in place with a surgeon's knot at each side,
I continued with surgeon's knots at either side of the other beads to hold those in place and to create spaces between them along the length of the cord.

I didn't want to add too much other beading as I didn't want to detract from the spiral pendant.

The other beads are:

Tibetan silver twisted tubes,

pearly Ivory round glass,

and black AB square glass.

I haven't finished off the cord ends permanently yet because I still need to decide on the final length to get the right 'balance'

Any way I hope you like it, and that you might now start to see how my 'Jukebox Jewellery' is going to pan out.

Happy beading every one.
