I have finally finished one of my UFOs. This started out as a bracelet kit called "Daisy Chain" that I purchased from Laura McCabe when she was out here in Australia.I don't generally wear bracelets, so I decided to adapt the kit and make a necklace. I added another flower made with a larger rivoli, delicas and bicones. I had enough of the other beads in the kit to convert the bracelet to a necklace.
I'm very happy with the way this one turned out. It's an interesting combination of teal and gold which I would never have put together myself. I like the flower forms too - they are fiddly to make, but they make interesting components for beading. The closure is a button and loop closure. I made the button out of a bezelled rivoli. It has a ring of bicone crystals around the edge - it will be interesting to see if they get caught in my hair.
I'm tossing up what to do next! I'll have to look through all of my containers of projects and see which one catches the eye.
