Boho Chic-ness Inspirations...



I've done stuff before that was very BOHO Chic inspired, etc...

I've been working on some knitting stuff since about may/June, and I need to redo the stuff all over...



So, I gotta take it apart... and rework it.

I finally got this necklace done... sort-of... but, now I think it might be better with a different chian, or better yet as a belt....



I'm trying to shoot for something more along THIS sort of vibe:







But, we'll see... I also have a number of projects to start or finish, and other things that need being done...

Tribal Silver Beads Necklaces & Boho Scarfs

Tribal Silver Beads Necklaces


Despite how tragically stressful & frustrating a winter I had, I had a strange luck in December and went to my father's house in NJ for Christmas.

 My step mother took my daughter & I out to Joann's and got all kinds of bargains...

I also learned knitting. This was made from Turkish yarn. So my step-mother started this scarf, and I finished it.




Then, I made a 2nd one:



Now, the bulk of what we picked out was beading stuffs... we went to town on beads! It was like a dream come true! Stuff I'd been dreaming of doing for 2 years! And, I got EVERYTHING!


TRIBAL SILVER NECKLACE 

The very first necklace I made, I've actually made, and remade, and restrung several times. I'm finally satisfied with it now. I also couldn't wear them in  the winter because the sub freezing temperatures could cause them to break, and loose all the beads, because I strung them on wire... and I have already learned that lesson the hard way.

 

  




Glass Beads, Tribal Silver beads, and Agate Stone 



This one too forever for me to work out, and I kept postponing finishing it. Finally when I finished it, it fell apart while prepping it for photography, so I had to start ALL OVER AGAIN!

It's made from mostly silver beeds, and tribal Silver beads, as well as LARGE glass beads & watermelon beads 2-Hued Green/Magenta glass beads both from the Czech Republic.
The silver beads are from everywhere: Mexico, PR China, Turkey, India.
