Necklace end problem.

Shirley,

The #E-020 on page http://www.vickijean.com/earrings.html reminded me
of a bicycle when I first glanced at it. A cute pendant could be made
out of the two "wheels" and some added wire work.

Thanks Roxan.
I have managed to sort it.
I got two filigree gold beads. Using a needle I managed to fold part of
the bead back. I put a head pin through one hole and made a loop. The
other end I had folded back I made a tiny slit to the hole. I then
popped my big bead inside and put the thread through the slit which I
closed up. Then I pushed the piece I had folded back into place. So I
have got a filigree ball hiding the big bead which was not very pretty
anyway.

The pendant part was in my BFNR parcel. I have no idea who it came from
but maybe Valerie. The seed beads were a gift from Su at Cutworks. They
compliment the pendant very well.

You don't have to redo the whole thing. Go back and weave a new thread down
from the end, then go through the bead that is too big and add a few smaller
beads that will fit your calotte then finish off as normal.

Thanks for your input Lee but since I had already cut the thread I had
nothing to play with. I had visions of restarting.
However I have come up with a solution which I will post when I get some
pictures up.

Would fingernail polish remover on a Q-Tip help? That's my only
suggestion since most of what you said was in Greek ;-) Maybe next
year I will understand what you said. LOL!

I have just finished a spiral rope for one of my BFNR projects.

At the ends of the spiral I tied a bead so I could attach a calotte to
it. I fastened it securely dabbed it with clear nail polish and cut the
thread when it dried.
Alas I find my calottes are not large enough to wrap round the bead.
The bead is a size 5.

I thought I could bead around it to make a feature of it but I have
already made several passes of thread and with the nail polish cannot
get the needle through.

I have looked at some sites in Uk but none seem to have any larger sizes
of calottes. I need gold coloured ones
Anyone out there who can suggest a way round my problem?

Glad you could fix the necklace. Your solution sounds like a good idea.

Yes you could. Vicki does some wonderful things.
It is also very good of her to host a page for me to show off my things.

I am doing a computer course and studying "Front Page" with a view to
setting up my own site. At class last week I got myself in such a muddle
that I had to ask the tutor to clear my workspace and start it again. He
keeps telling me to take my time it is not a race. LOL

Well, now you are talking about something I can help you with! I have
been a Webmaster for 10 years. I was the Webmaster for my ISP, the
Indiana Chapter of the Multiple Sclerosis Society, our County library
system (and also their digital archivist), and for private clients.

I have used FrontPage for years at my client's request. If you need
help let me know. I'd be glad to help you with your new Web site.

Shirley,

Forgot to tell you yesterday how beautiful I thought your necklace
was! How did you make a big rope like that? Is it a certain stitch?
