I managed to put the beads together yesterday and this is the resulting necklace. I'm pleased with it although it took some re-working to get the chain parts the right lengths to suit my scraggy turkey neck.
I quite enjoy working with two pairs of pliers and a split ring opening tool thingie.
When it was all done I gave it a good 'dose' of fabric protector spray stuff. I think mine is Scotchgard and I've had it for many, many years. This gives any jewellery protection from your body oils - well, that's what I tell myself!!!!
Unfortunately the pattern won't be available for a while as I've been given more beads by a neighbour. These are a lot bigger than the three sizes I've used on this project so I'm going to have to do a bigger pattern for them. I doubt they will be suitable to wear as jewellery but I really, really think they're going to become fantastic Christmas decorations.
