Default new necklace and need help with a necklace

Ok, I wanted to do something with this fun little metalic hollow, so I got
some delicas, which were a pain, but went well with my bead. I think a
bunch of them ended up on the carpet and I may have swallowed a few. I
wanted a short necklace because I have a few button up shirts, but don't
have any necklaces to wear with them. Nothing real exciting, but I like
this a lot. It's light and dainty. Ok, nevermind that my button-up shirts
are red and blue.

The one I'm having trouble with is this vessel necklace I was playing with.
I took for strands and did a braid with them, but maybe it's a little two
uniform. (Ignore the strand going off to the right. That will be the other
side.) I'm wondering, if I can take that spiral class this weekend, I might
have a better idea what to do. Seed beads are a big mystery to me. The
other thing I was thinking was that maybe I should put more stone chips in
it. I don't know. Any suggestions?

I love the first necklace with the hollow. I can't put my finger on the
other one because I suck at design. I know someone here will be able to
help though.

I like it. Its kind of organic yet organized. Perhaps a few more stone
chips. Other than that I like it a lot.

I love them both, and I think that braid is perfect. But, I think the wire
wrap takes away from it somehow. It adds an element of "harshness" to an
otherwise very organic, flowing piece.

Yes, I do have a suggestion. See how you looped the seed beads into
the wire wrap? Take off the wire wrap and string your seed beads
through the handles of vessel for a more fluid look.

Are you sure you've not done this before? You're a natural!

Thanks Margie,

The only thing about that is that I couldn't figure out how to make it
multiple strands by doing this. I think I could only get one strand through
the holes in the vessel. How would I add more strands?

Ok, I'll work on this. I just don't know how to string it without the wire.
I can get one strand through the holes, but I'm not sure I could get any
more.

I think I do want to add more chips. Thanks. It helps when someone else
agrees!

Thanks Starlia,

With my shoulder problem, I usually can't wear anything to heavy, and
sometimes not even something light. I like this a lot.
