The whole lariat was supposed to be a beadwoven spiral, but I noticed I was running out of the ruby red Czech glass I was using. *Sad face* I made the 2 lengths of spiral rope you see at the ends here, and worked to come up with plan B.
Sometimes these setbacks DO turn out for the better, because I really like the solution I came up with: I incorporated some of my favorite lampwork glass peppermint beads, and had enough of the red Czech glass to do a bit more spiralling, so I made 3 short lengths of spiral rope, which I then strung up asymmetrically with a mix of red and green Czech rondelles plus some larger pressed Czech glass bicones.
Do you have a favorite piece of holiday jewelry?
