Now it's time for part 2 of this month's reveal. And I have made another necklace and a bracelet.
First the long necklace where I used the twisted chain, with wire wrapped large round beads distributed evenly along the chain and with large gaps. Two colors, and perfectly mirrored sides.

Green semi-translucent marbled lucite 18mm rounds. White carved 16mm rounds, that I can't remember what they are. I bought them ages ago before I had a good system for keeping track of all my purchases. The word jade pops upon in my head, but ... I don't know. Two ceramic pods for a pendant. The green one is by Marsha Neal and the white one by Birgitta Lejonklou. A brass colored ball with a hank sits at the back to balance the weight.

I didn't manage to take a good photo where you can see the whole necklace laid out, or one where it sits on, when I took the photos earlier today. I might give it a go again tomorrow just to give you an idea of the proportions and the length. It reaches all the way down to the tummy.

Now the bracelet.

I used green colored/patinated metal parts by MissFickleMedia. And Rayon gimp cording to tie everything together. A somewhat unusual solution maybe, but that I am very pleased with it. The rayon gimp knots creates a nice effect against all the metal, gives another texture softer and kind of satin feeling, and it adds just a little bit more color too. I've secured the knots with glue and the cord ends with fray check. Two strands of the etched chain from FusionBeads.

Heeeeeey! Nice necklace ;D
I love the mirrored asymmetry, of course. And those white beads are super cool! I would have never guessed it was as long as you say if you hadn't said. So yes- please update us with a photo tomorrow. The chain is really cool too.
I didn't know about the gimp cord - I'm going to have to look into that. Hmm, maybe Lorelei blogged about it awhile back?
Stunning. I absolutely love the necklace, it it just a very cool piece of jewellery! Love the round, fatness of the beads. ANd the two pods...I have often looked at that shape and thought, I like you but I am not sure what I would do with you.....you've inspired me as usual Malin!
Cool Malin!
Mycket snyggt! JAg gillar långa halsband och detta var härligt vårig dessutom med den gröna färgen!
Gah! I LOVE your jewelry, Malin!
I love what you used with Marsha's ceramic pod and that bracelet is so unique with its "gimp" knots! I have a feeling Maire Dodd will love this piece, especially with those beautiful colors of cording!
Love that bracelet Miss Malin! Those links from Miss Shannon are the star, and I like the added detail of the cord. Jump rings would have been so.... expected. The FusionBeads chain is really nice. I like it!
Enjoy the day!

You're so talented -- I love them!
Malin, these pieces are beautiful - your work always inspires me! I'm sitting here at work with a bead delivery just arrived on my desk, so thanks for the lunchtime inspiration.
All the best
