February 12, 2026--Here's another beaded necklace I worked up designed by Design and Adorn called Dreaming of Venice. I ordered the full kit which included an excellent set of instructions, beads, pendant, string, needle, Tierra Cast toggle clasp and endcaps, jump rings, etc. This necklace is done using a Kumihimo disk which I love--it makes for a very portable project since the beads are pre-strung, and each string is rolled up on a bobbin (8 of them). I love the "ombre" color movement from light, silvery blue on the sides to black with gold interspersed in the center. In fact, the hardest thing about this necklace was the exact count required for stringing up the beads. Once that's done, it's easy to move forward on the disk.
The last time I worked up one of these Kumihimo necklaces, I learned how to easily fix errors, so was able to do this while working with the light blue, silvery beads. Once I started placing black beads, I see now that I missed a few. Fortunately, the spots with the missing beads are not visible, so I'm not going to stress about it.
