For expensive swatches, perhaps you could take a picture of them if you need to salvage the expensive components?Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01633007479485349329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2878053709435750828.post-22194024074081974872013-07-23T18:27:43.600-07:002013-07-23T18:27:43.600-07:00Thanks Jo-Ann!

When I try ropes I usually have at least a few aborted attempts and inevitably seem to underestimate the number of beads I need. I don't always save my pieces because my pile of "samples" somehow turns into a box of chaos. Organization comes naturally to some, and it's a struggle for others (like me). I hope you make more rope necklaces as this one turned out so darn well.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17390853515006667116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2878053709435750828.post-82760033161049563982013-07-23T15:13:34.861-07:002013-07-23T15:13:34.861-07:00I love the spiral you settled on!

Part of me feels like I should take them apart to get the beads, especially when they are rare, limited in quantity, etc. Yet I find that keeping swatches and happening upon them again can spark new ideas and also serve as a reminder of what didn't work so I don't try to reinvent the wheel next time around.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2878053709435750828.post-51783508885913030392013-07-23T10:00:28.746-07:002013-07-23T10:00:28.746-07:00Love the texture created by the superduos!Love the texture created by the superduos!Jo-Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05933287593320793863noreply@blogger.com
