All I can say is this....I got my flu shot (and apparently there are two flu types of shots available...mine was a dual cocktail..and so I've had a sore arm and flu symptoms for two days. While I've been recuperating I've been trying to finish this necklace....which leads me to myButton update:
Honestly, I about lost my mind doing this necklace. How such a simple piece of lace got so complicated so quickly is beyond me. I stiffened the lace with fabric stiffener. Then I started to attach pearls with wire, but the wire didn't work with the delicate lace. Switched to using thin ribbon, but one ribbon wouldn't tie the pearls on right...switched to two ribbons to lace and tie. Then decided to added the beads..oiy. Trying to figure out how to add the pendant part became another moment of insanity. I quit counting the time it's taken to make this...Finally done? (still a few ribbon/bead touch up work, but mostly done).
This is a long piece , about 40 inches of vintage lace....beading, lacing, such a long piece takes time but it has turned out quite beautiful. I'll think twice about time requirements when working on piece of lace this long after this project.
