Ok, so here's another ongoing project... a spiral using 5 different beads in 3 different sizes, which started out as a bracelet and got out of control. I made three trips to the bead store to resupply so I could make it longer. Ultimately, this (I hope) will be a custom lanyard for my security badge, if I ever manage to get hired into my old line of work. The only thing holding me back from finishing this project is deciding on how I plan to attach a security badge holder to the beaded necklace. Due to my pack-rat-iness, I have several different options available. :)
When I was in uniform, I used a retractable clip reel style badge holder, which attached to my pocket. Most women's clothes do not have convenient places to clip something like that. Rather than walk around with a shoelace around my neck, I thought this might make a nicer statement. I guess I'll have to make a couple different colors to coordinate with different clothes, huh? Well, I don't think I'm making another spiral lanyard. I found some tutorials on Russian and Dutch spirals, which would make some really pretty (read: sale quality) bracelets.
