Karla Kam - Crystal and Chain Link Necklace
Posted on September 14th, 2009 by admin
This Karla Kam was prompted by a request for designs using chain. This project was designed by Shanna one of our talented designers and I hope you all will be inspired to work with chain in many of your designs.

The Swarovski Twist Sew On Stone can be very versatile. In this Karla Kam I will make it into a pendant hanging from suede and to complete the design dangles from the bottom.
Make this beautiful bracelet with a right angle weave base of seed beads and then adorning it with a Czech glass rounds. This is a needle and Fireline project so bring your patience!
The Right Angle Weave must be one of the most versatile stitches, I learned this variation at the request of a customer who just wasn’t getting it from the written instructions. With trial and error, oh yes and a size change in the beads, I mastered the pattern, so join me and learn to make your own tennis bracelet out of Hex Cut Seed Beads and Swarovski Crystal Bicones.
Since I did a how to on crimping techniques I thought I would show you how to use them in an illusion style necklace project. This is also something that has been requested by you so keep the suggestions coming!
Learn how to use crimp ends with leather by watching Karla Schafer make a necklace with lampwork and bali beads.
Learn to make an elastic bracelet as Karla Schafer, Auntie’s Beads Designer, demonstrates in this video.
I am not quite the scrapbooking type, but I have managed to hone in on a collage like skill, skill maybe stretching it, but little works of art yes, you know art is subjective… I will demonstrate this great dimentional adhesive, DG3 Art Gel. It is used like the Diamond Glaze but on a larger and deeper scale. Some scrapbooking paper a few pewter charms and these great frame pendants in antique silver can turn your creations in to art!
I am so excited about this product! A great find in Tucson, much like the Magical Crimp Forming Tool from last year, same vendor in fact! This is an elastic product that can be crimped! It takes some practice, so please do not cry over spilled beads…
I will demonstrate how to construct a “Y” necklace. I will be using gunmetal chain and findings with a few crystals in Sapphire to add a pop of color. I will also demonstrate a great way to make a perfect rosary loop using the wire looping pliers!
