Silk Necklaces

Last summer I made a necklace for myself with a recycled silk scarf and large wooden beads. I received a lot of compliments while wearing it. This inspired me to make a collection of colourful summer necklaces using silk, ribbon, and a variety of  beads: wood, glass, and acrylic. Normally, I do not use acrylic beads, but somehow "silk" and "heavy" do not go together. These acrylic beads are very light despite their size and they look like sea glass. I will have my new collection at the Art Walk on July 7 (see the last June post). Here are sample pictures. Enjoy!
