Southern Chick says:This is a great pick…Love your picks.
Just a question for anyone…Does anyone know how to begin a “nest necklace” with the wire wrapping? I’ve looked online and can’t find directions.

Shannon aka Silly Chick says:Thanks Luv and Southern Chick! The Nest Necklace is a new one for me…Sounds pretty, so I hope somebody can instruct!!!

Southern Chick says:Google “nest Necklace” They are really cool. I got the tourmaline beads for eggs and all branch etc., but I don’t know how to roll the wire to get started. Maybe I should just grab it and go! Hopefully, I can make it and show it in the new LB gallery! Which I hope they create!

Michelle Downy Chick says:These are really cool instructions. I had never heard of a nest necklace before and now I’m dying to try it out!
And of course silly chick, this is a fabulous pick! When I first bought one of those triangles, I thought it wasn’t going to work as I had planned…but it looks really nice!
On Apr 30, 2009 at 5:41 pm #
Luv2bead - Little Chick says:I had never heard of a nest necklace either so I thought I’d check it out!
On Apr 30, 2009 at 5:44 pm #
Southern Chick says:Silly Chick, I think that the history of the nest necklace goes back to Victorian times..1880s or so.

Luv2bead - Little Chick says:What did you do with it Downy Chick?!
On Apr 30, 2009 at 5:48 pm #
Michelle Downy Chick says:I used muscovite beads (one of my faves!) and used the triangle as a drop. Nothing fancy, but it works I think!

Happy Chick aka Harriet says:Good morning ladies! It is Friday! I beaded a while last night, and am fairly happy w/results, tho’ only 1/2 way through. Doing my own take on a magazine piece, but as always have to make it my own. TIP: You probably already thought of this, but when details are long & involved, I scan and print them, so I can mark thru’ or highlight in order not to lose my place and have to keep recounting.

movie chick aka susan says:Happy Chick – thanks for the tip…would like to see your piece when you are finished
