Specially Bought, Specially Made





A few weeks ago, Mum, Dad, and I went to a man who does
epistolary. He said that the fabrics he sold were more expensive than if we went to his friend, Herman. Herman owns a fabric store called "Fabrics On the Go" and it is now, my favorite store in the whole city. Its a small place, but it has every fabric, button, and bead imaginable. We bought two fabrics from him so Art could make some pillows for our outdoor seating area in our front courtyard. Also, we bought three strands of these awesome beads.

One of the strands we bought from him was of these shell-like blue beads that I just love. I decided to make a necklace and earrings for a friend who is going to a wedding in a few months and used those beads.

Materials:

Earrings:
2 silver pin heads
2 silver jump hoops
2 blue/silver shell beads
2 silver earring hooks

Necklace:
Stretch Magic String
gold toggle clasp
2 gold crimp beads
13 blue/silver shell beads
65 light green 5mm beads
26 purple 5mm beads
26 light blue 5mm beads
