multi functional jewelry!

I love it when I can create a piece that can be changed up to create a different wearable piece.  Pacific Morning Glory is like that in that it is reversible.

This is a piece I started out a good many months back.  Initially I had done a double wide band for the necklace part but I found it heave and awkward, so I took it a apart.  I left the bottom edge thinking I would dangle something….and I hadn't finished the clasp because, well because I didn't.

Yesterday I decided it was time.  I found an already complete set of dangles from another abandoned project and the colors were right so I added it.  The necklace was long which I liked but I wanted the option to wear it short as well.

I made a slide for the two ends to pass through so they can be pulled through to make a short necklace or extended their full length for a long necklace.

I decided to terminate the ends with a pretty crystal drop and a bit of netting to extend over the top.  It's a happy piece, aqua on one side and purple on the other, and best of all it's finished!  and wearable!






What will I bead next….. that is the dilemma.  I'm not sure, I have ideas but not one that is raisins it's hand to be first…..perhaps I need so surround myself with some inspiration?
