Welcome to my site. Today I would like to share a beaded jellyfish that I made. What was most amazing was that I actually had the beads here to make it. I have zillions of beads but when it comes to making a project, I often don't have the right size or color. I did have to improvise a bit on the very top of the jellyfish because my opening was a bit too big, but I just kept repeating the reducing pattern until the opening was big enough for the headpin.
This jellyfish was made using glass pearls I had actually gotten at Michael's during one of their big sales. I liked them because they were a rainbow or maybe AB glazed white pearls. There were four strands on the hang tag in various sizes. They were very pretty. Yup, pretty sells it for me!!
The pattern listed pink pearls for the smaller ones but I didn't have any pink. But I did have the correct size in cream, so that is what I used. I make what I had work because what I had was the right size. I am trying not to order more stuff I don't need before I try using what I have and so far I'm doing pretty good. I will never use up my bead stash but I'm sure trying to make what I have work with what I want to make.
The link to the pattern is no longer available but there's other types of jellyfish you can make by looking in Youtube. I will have this necklace up for sale in my web store. I wanted to make one, I didn't know what I was going to do with it though. So I decided to sell it and move on to another project I have already started. You can see it in my secure web store by clicking here.
Thank you SO much for stoping in to see my latest creation,
Wanda
