I haz a necklace!

[guenievre]

Little coral necklace.

1. Coral beads found at Pennsic while looking for paternoster beads.
2. Random red silk thread.
3. Leftover dress hook and eye.
4. Lots of knots. (Yes, between every bead.)
5. As seen, sort of, in certain Tacuinum Sanitatis images - at least that’s what I was thinking about when I bought the beads, though they’re a little small.

Isn’t it cute?

Very cute, and according to the Tacuinum Santitatis, very good for you.

Pretty!

How do you get the knots right up next to the beads, though? I've never been able to figure that out.

Google bead knotting, and you'll find some instructions with images, but basically you make the knot around a straight pin or the like, and use that to slide the knot up to the bead. There are a couple spots on mine where I didn't get it quite close enough, so the beads aren't quite spaced right...
