TotusMel's Fleurette Necklace but with beads (needle tatted)

[DreamInSymmetry]

Hi again.

I worked this in #10 Crochet cotton with 2 doll needles, thinner one for the josephines (spirals) and slighter thicker one for the rings. No idea why I did that; just liked the look better.

The work isn't super even or perfect, but unlike Angeleyes who made the same pattern lately for her Mother-in-law, this is for me. I love the orange and black. ^_^




Questions!

1) The clasp is a just jump ring, lobster clasp combination. Right or wrong, I threaded the jump rings through the end beads. I figured: it fits, why not? Is that "bad design"?

2) Why does the sun always duck behind a cloud when I want to photograph something? This is the best picture I could get on the day. Any tips to share please?

Lovely! You did a terrific job with it! Keep up the good work :)
I say, 'If it works, go with it' It looks great....
as for Black.....I find it is always hard to photograph no matter what the lighting is like.
I have a wonderful 'Professional' Portrait of my kids and their dog (a BLACK cocker) when they were young... all you can see of the dog is this black blob with his tongue and two shiny spots where his black eyes are... HA! and that was the BEST picture of the lot.
