This strand was so pretty with the purple and yellow ombré and I had this new ultra strong, no needle needed beading string to try.
As the eye catching detail, I added this silver elephant. I have a thing for elephants. They bring good luck. I have a collection of them. It's better if the trunks are raised upward but regardless, elephants, in my mind, bring luck.
Sadly, the way I strung this necklace, the elephant always showed its butt. No good. I needed to add a jump ring to make it lie flat like I forced it to do for this pic. So, knowing a this necklace had an ill positioned pendant, the editing began.
First? The gemstones. The necklace was shortened to a bracelet.
I like to mix green with purple. It's a thing I do. Not sure why. The bead that is on the silver circle is green, tho this photo is particularly dark.
What happened then, to the sweet, lucky elephant that kept showing its backside?
It jumped onto a crocheted necklace that I had just been working on, that was in need of a focal pendant.
A friend stopped by, saw the necklace and the elephant and took it home. She, apparently likes elephants too. :)
