Clover Chain

It takes about 8 to 10 minutes to make each clover.  I have 13 clovers.

I am happy with the way this turned out.  The thread is only visible under a magnifier.

 It lies nicely. 

(Thank goodness for grammar check.  My Mom has tried to teach me the rule for lay, lie, laid but it just does not stick.)

It did take quite a few hours to string the chain together.  In order to minimize the thread and have the bead butt up against the coral bead I needed to employ a two needle technique.  One needle just did not work.

Most of the Coral and Clover chain
Next I need to work on chain two for the turquoise slab necklace.

    Beautiful! Thread showing in pictures that is invisible in person drives me crazy too! That coral is gorgeous.

    KJ - I'm not sure if my 1st comment went through as I was not signed in to my blogger account.
    Just wanted to tell you how lovely your clover and coral necklace is and that I thought it would have made a beautiful Valentine's Day gift.

    Thanks Lois, I think I am my harshest critic.

    Almost Precious, this will be one strand of three on my turquoise slab necklace. Now I have to come up with a design for the other two.
