If you remember the post I made with my very first lariat necklace I've ever made, it was called Dagr, created with netting by using some Czech seed beads in a bead soup consisting of gold, silver and copper lined beads.
Well, I had a wish from a client in Sweden, and she liked the necklace, but she wanted it in different colors. She came with the wish of something in white, black and grey.
I set out to make a bead soup of these three colors, using different shades and finishes of 11/0 seed beads.
The colors I used in the soup are: opaque black, black matte, gunmetal matte, opaque white, opaque AB white, transparent frosted white, crystal silver lined, and pastel grey.
I actually like how the soup ended up looking and I have some left of it so I might use it for something else in the future; I was thinking free-form RAW, since I've been wanting to give it a try for quite some time now.

Necklace: Dagr black/white

Necklace: Dagr
As I mentioned in my btw post this week I was working on a simple netted lariat necklace, and yep, it's complete.
I haven't been working that much with bead-netting before, so I decided that it was time to refresh myself a bit in this, I must say, very relaxing form of beading.
It is also the first time I made a lariat necklace, which was fun and time consuming. The lariat is about 130cm (51.2") in total, with the tassels included.
The tassels are wooden beads, which I painted with an acrylic gold paint and varnished it. The bead is also covered with bead-netting.
I also mentioned in my bead table post this week that I found a use for this shiny and bright crystal/gold, silver, copper lined 11/0 Czech seed bead mix. I've been having this in my stash (aprox. 1 hank) for a bit more then a year and I'm pleased to say that the WHOLE hank was used for this lariat and not a single seed bead of it remains, lol :D
For the fringe of the tassels, I decided to mix in some 11/0 galvanized Czech gold seed beads to give some non crystal contrast to the piece.
