Multi-Layered

I really don't have a name for this one. The best thing about this necklace is that it's recycled! Yay! Granted, a recycled necklace to me, means that it's made from the remaining beads of other necklaces (I buy too many beads, but never throw the excess away).

This necklace looks really nice with dresses, slacks, or jeans. It's very versatile. It's made from different shaped glass beads in clear and black, strung on two 60" wires and spaced with black seed beads (on one wire) and greyish silver seed beads (on the other). Both wires go through the large glass beads, keeping the wires together.

The necklace was made to wear as a double layer: 


But also looks great if you triple-layer it:



And I may shamelessly plug my brother's Web site, but I want to point out that he did not take the pictures of the necklaces. That was actually my oh-so-great photography in my "studio."* I think I'll have to get some models (probably just myself) for future necklaces. Fall is a big necklace-making time for me because as of last year, it started to be a Christmas present tradition of mine.

*(My studio is actually a wall sconce covered in a black spandex skirt on my bathroom counter.)
