Long Necklaces are Elegant

I have this thing for long necklaces. Like 26-28 inchers. I love wrapping them around your neck twice, or just wearing them wrapped once. They're kind of frustrating to make though because you have to really plan ahead and make sure you won't run out of wire (or other stringing material), beads, or crimps.

Two weeks ago I tried making an invisible, long necklace with this type of string similar to fishing line, except "supposedly" stronger. Well it didn't take me long to snap the wire.. So then I started back up again (because luckily I had not cut the string yet so I had an ample amount) and of course I broke the string and crimp bead. >:(

So I was reluctant to start it over again but I tried a type of wire, 0.38 mm, and succeeded! Whoo. I strung pink round beads and tube-like purple beads about 1 1/2 inches apart with crimps holding them in place. It ended up being pretty long; I don't even remember the exact inches. It's really delicate, which bugs me.. I wish it was stronger. I need to go find stronger wire. Anyway, here's a pic: (excuse my Hello Kitty backpack and fuzzy slippers haha)



The other two pictures are of a necklace I recently made out of just leftover beads and random parts. I love how it turned out! The robins egg blue is one of my favorite colors and I really like the black bow. So there you have it.
I'm off to do some chemistry homework... eughh.
