Using Thread In Jewellery
Using Thread In Jewellery

Of course all bead weavers use thread when stitching their beads together, but it can look effective as part of a strung jewellery piece too.
I discovered this when playing with some beads, taking the thread of a strand of beads round the outside of another bead when I was working out how to put them together.I then decided to work some lovely gold thread in as part of the design and the result is this turquoise necklace with gold thread and silver prayer beads. I love it and intend to use more thread in my work, especially thicker thread with larger hole beads. You can see my jewellery at www.didihandmadejewellery.co.uk
