Amy decided to use a clasp instead of muddling around with an invisible closure.
Linda finished not one, but three necklaces as she didn't like some of her color combinations. I think all are keepers, but this one with the different finishes of olive beads is my favorite.
A few of the original participants have gone on to a second Urban Stripes necklace. I did a second necklace as a paid subscription. It is meant to complement the original necklace and worn with it.
Mary Anne, who's signature is crayon colors, has just finished this beauty. I can't wait to see the two necklaces together.
Meanwhile, I'm busily pulling all of the information and patterns from Urban Stripes into an eBook that will be a pattern set to make three of these necklaces as well as a couple of side trips using the patterns as bracelets. Hopefully by mid October it will be completed.
I wish I joinned this project. Those necklaces look gorgeous!!!

Amzing works! Am absolutely distraught that I discovered this blog TOO LATE....Have bought the excellentPDF out of print book and am faithfully struggling through and ready to start a project....(my samples have begat samples!!!)...
ReplyDeleteI understand that you will hope to publish this as a pattern in 2012 but being compulsive, that is a very long time to wait.....Any chance of you offering just the first section (which I guess have basic instructions) so I could get started on that??? Obviously very happy to pay for that.....
Thanks and regards from the UK>
