So, this event I'm preparing for is the "big show" for this year. A new one for me and I'm still not precisely certain what they want and I'm doing my best to put my best foot forward.
These are kumihimo braids. I keep wanting to have these as necklaces to put pendants on when I sell them, they're 8 strands. Each time I work on them I'm reminded of how long they take! So I make one once in a while. Now I have three! Right. So I made some simpler 3 strand braids as well.
I haven't had time to make sterling ends to crimp on, so I ran out and got base metal ones. I'm also making simple cords.
Today's work was to assemble the necklaces. I have about 30 now. And the lovely kumihimo braids are waiting for me to have a brilliant idea how to incorporate then in jewelry.
Tonight I'm finishing up all my frames and boxes. All this preparation is overwhelming. I have til wednesday to finish.
