waxed linen cord – Susan Kennedy

My friend and fellow Art Jewelry Elements member, Diana Ptaszynski, is hosting today’s Waxed Linen Cord Blog Hop! A big thank you to Diana, as this is a really big job! I was excited to join in, I have been making some new chicklet beads recently and wanted to show off some ways you can use them!

I used a pretty spicy orange color of waxed linen cord, and a great button I got from someone on etsy who I will have to find again because I love his buttons! I used indonesian glass in between my flower chicklet beads. And finally, some silver accent beads I picked up at a bead show here last year!

To finish the bracelet off, I used two indonesian glass triangle beads!

And then, to be annoying and over-achieverish, I made these earrings. I used salmon cord, copper accent beads, my chicklet beads in a different orientation, and mustard colored seed beads! I also used the new shape feature on Picmonkey!
