“The Old Blue Pickup”

Description from Jogi: I started this pick with the blues from the pueblo colors but found that I had to add copper to strike the right balance for a necklace ready for jeans and tee shirts! My only problem is choosing which drop will be in the final iteration. I think I want a bag of each of these and I could put together several different pieces! I might even add some silver to bring in the chrome of the vintage pickup.

Robin nursechick says:Jogi, I love your pick! I got some of the pueblo beads too and they are bigger than what I thought they’d be (I guess i should read the description, instead of just saying “I want this and that). Anyhoo-this will be awesome with jeans, a t shirt and a pickup! I got one of those too! hahahahah. Sounds like a country song!

Jogi says:Robin, Haha! Thanks! I got some of the smaller ones and I really really love them. Used them on some leather with a Golem bead and they looked great! I like the smaller spacers the best. Yeah, I do the same thing, ooooh, aahhh, I need those! Then I have to deal with them later.

dolllady aka Pam says:I love the copper with the Greek pueblo beads with round leather. However, the copper beads that I like have smaller holes than the leather. I love your pick. The Stan’s bird fits in so well with your whole life pick.

Granny Nancy says:Wow, great pick. This has got to be a POD. What a perfect combo of that particular blue and copper. I love it.

BevB says:Love your picks! I have the smaller pueblos beads too. You will have fun creating with your picks. If you make several necklaces, maybe you could wear them together sometimes.

Maggies Mom says:This is very similar to a pick I did recently, so of course I like it! I ordered some, as did Robin, and was surprised at how big they were. Guess I didn’t read measurements either … lol. But strung on some leather, they will be fine.

Jogi says:Thanks everyone! I do agree that the larger beads are a bit, well, large. I think I put some aside that I had gotten earlier with some of the smaller ones. Pam, I tried to pick large hole beads in the copper. I was off on an adventure today when I saw a blue pickup from the 60s, tooling down the road. Made me laugh! I really want to try the bird on something. We will see! Thanks again!

Crystal Canary says:The raku bird is amazing with the pueblo beads! I do believe this is one fantastic pick and would make some awesome jewelry. Please post in the design gallery–would love to see these beauties in action!

Kathryn R says:Have to agree with Crystal Canary and all above! I swear I’ve see that rusty ol’ pickup around somewhere! Yes, that Raku Bird would be amazing as the focal of a necklace with the smaller pueblo beads strung on leather cord and finished with copper cord ends and clasp!

C Maracle says:I really like your pick putting copper with the blue. I did something similar but used lustered african sunset beads.

dolllady aka Pam says:Congrats on your well earned POD! I agree with the idea of the led Africa sunset seed beads. They come in 4mm cubes and I think 3 know cubes.

Jogi says:Okay, the bird didn’t work, sizes and positions conflicted. The colors of these beads are great but Elaina at LB gave me the idea to use peach moonstone so I paired those with copper rounds, 10mm. Then I did another try, with way too big beads (LOL) and used the copper rounds with the African disk beads from a previous pick, in the bottle green. Still trying to make these work.

Stingray says:I like both of your necklaces. The first one is bold and classy and the second one has an “ancient-world” sort of look to it.

Jogi says:Thank you Stingray! I wish the beads in the first photo were a tad smaller. I still have some of the other shapes to work with so we will see what these beads bring in the way of creativity!
