Progress! Done!
Aug. 15th, 2025 10:08 amI finished the necklace while I was doing laundry this morning.
Materials: dried mini gourd, top cut off and inside cleaned. The gourd got spritzed with Butterscotch Ranger Adirondack Color Spray and sealed with Liquitex Satin Varnish. The netting is natural color 2-ply Irish waxed linen. The embellishments are vintage red white heart trade beads and African metal heishi, a hummingbird fetish (which I think is reconstituted azurite/turquoise), a turquoise bear fetish, and turquoise, coral, shell, bone, and glass beads. I tried something new; I added a bear fetish and some red white heart beads at the back knot.
