I have finished a couple of projects recently. The first being the Davida Bracelet by Amy Katz. Amy did a wonderful job of putting this kit together, the instructions were easy to read and understand and the finished project is stunning. Knowing me, I made one adaptation - I changed the pale green rivolis for an olivine rivoli that goes with more of my wardrobe. The bracelet is a spiraling herringbone. It's stunning.
My other piece is this necklace - an adaptation of a Maria Rypan lariat. Actually and honestly, take the word "adaptation" out and insert "Liz can't read patterns" I was adding 6 beads instead of 5 and I really do like the way it works. Add a focal bead that I purchased at Stony Creek Beads in Ypsilanti (note to self - find artist name) and a new necklace was born.

I had to laugh and smile as I had a friend who used to say it was impossible for me, genetically, to follow a recipe let alone instructions. I try, but it always comes out with my own twist. So that is why I'm laughing and smiling. The beads are really nice.
That bracelet is absolutely amazing!!
Both of these pieces are stunning!!!! I love your color blending on the necklace.
