Ginger's finished necklace
for Necklace #1

The ruler shows the size of this needleweaving.
In the future you can make necklaces smaller than this design or much larger.  The shape and size of the necklace is determined by the outline set by the banker's pins.

Happy Needleweavers

The happiness on these Needleweaver's faces
show up better than the colors that they used
in the pattern we are going to be learning in
Necklace #1

Pick out colors that you would like to wear.  
Check wardrobe, usually plain tops show
these necklaces off to their best advantage.  
Think of a theme or scheme of colors
that are pleasing to you.

If you have a problem, check out
my Inspiration Book for ideas.  
You might have a special piece of jewelry
that was given to you.
It just might make the perfect center piece
or focal point of your necklace.

 

Hope you all have fun so let's get started.  
If you are like many artists, we like to look at pictures to get a good idea what all these instructions are talking about. Pictures are worth a thousand words. The text and pictures for all 10 Lessons below.
