New DMC variegated Floss

I could not resist the gorgeous new variegated floss from DMC that go from purple to blue or aqua to blues. I had this idea to string some of new beachy luster glass beads with this thread. I also bought the metallic floss in aqua and lavender. Spectacular thread, The idea didn't work at all, The holes in the beads were big enough but the threads caught on each other and on the twisted wire needles too. All of my crafts are not successful, you see. But I wanted you to see the colors anyways. I ended up making this necklace by threading on wire and tying half hitches of the thread around the beads.

3 Blue necklaces

Each of these blue necklaces has a different flavor. The first icy periwinkle blue and silver links has a space age feel, like something in the old star trek shows. I think partly because if the odd placement of the holes in the rectangular silver link components.

The second one with two strand of many different indian glass luster beads has and organic or beachy look. The pale blue dagger beads remind me of wings.

The third has large steely blue glass pendant beads and lots of end caps and silver adding up to a more elegant design. The first and third necklaces are wire work and the second is strung beads.
