I finally put together the wire wrapped kelp necklace. Here’re the pics!

First the full view

And now the close up

Overall, I like this necklace. However there are a few things I’d do differently.

1) I’d stagger the kelp leaves up their chains
2) I’d put one starfish and one sea horse on each side
3) I’d drop the sea horse a little lower so it could be seen thru the kelp.

Other than that, not too bad for a first wire wrap necklace!

I’m now working on kelp necklace #2, which is done in off loom weaving. As my challenge for this next one, I’m working in free form brick stitch. It’s interesting, because I’m such a fiend for regular structures like crystal lattice. I’m having to loosen up my style a lot. On the good side, I’m working with a color scheme I love (blues) so I only have one lesson to learn.
