Arwen beads v2.0

[jennylafleur]

I bought new beads for the headdress on the way home from church yesterday. They are a soft, pearlescent gold type color. I got the Dylon dye for the Eowyn silk while I was out too. I wiped out Jo-Ann's supply of olive green so hopefully I have enough. {crossing fingers}

Spent most of yesterday afternoon and evening working on the headdress. The main part of it is done. I need to add some reinforcing wire and figure out the flowers on the sides (Miss C's diagrams were very sketchy on those). Looks pretty good I think:


The zig-zag bar is not as neat as I'd like but that is because of the beads. The beads I bought, while pretty, are not very regularly sized. Man! I'm still trying to decide if I want to add the row of short dangles. Not sure I like those. The bottom swag came out too long so I'll have to shorten it a bit. I must have miss-counted.

Oh yes and my sister wants one now. That was predicable!

Hi Jenny-Rose! You have no idea how excited I am to see that you have a LJ - I've often thought about how I miss the email chats we used to have. . . Hope you don't mind that I've "friend"ed you! :)

Howdy!
I know, it's been a while since we've chatted huh? Another good reason for a LJ!

Don't mind being "friend"ed at all... you were already on my own list. :->

I really, really like how this headdress is turning out. I still have to rework mine (I totally gave up on it), but the mood has not hit me to do any beadwork lately. ;) I'm so lazy. :p

You really should finish one of these headdresses you know! What are you on your third one? Or is this going to be your forever ongoing project? :->

Lazy? Oh I wouldn't know anything about that... {sticks nose up in the air and smiles serenely}

Well, maybe it's one of those projects that takes five years to finish. ;) Which is really lame considering I got the second one mostly done while I was watching an episode of Horatio Hornblower on A&E (which was like 2 hours long). Go figure!

Hardy-har-har. Veeeery funny. ;) LOL!
