Work In Progress - Go back and try again


Test Lariat - WIP 3
Originally uploaded by Lulu Knows Why
I've had this large enamel focal bead for quite some time. I've tried several designs to showcase it - none successful. I think this design is my best attempt so far, but I found that it was simply too long - the weight of the enamel bead is enough that it doesn't rest on the chest - it creeps up to where the neck and chest meet. It looks good and is comfortable in that position - but it means the lariat end dangles very very long. Too long. So I'm going back to rework this and shorten it a bit.

Sometimes trial and error (and error and error and trial and trial) is the only way to figure out how to make something work.
