First necklace

I am feeling very arty lately. I've never tried making jewelry before - it always seemed horribly girly - but lately I've been desiring more necklaces and chokers of a style I actually like. So, when I was in Joann's Fabrics today and saw the bead section, I paused and reconsidered. And then I picked out a random assortment of beads, fasteners, and string to try some things out. I'm sure a true maker of jewelry (such as Lael) would be horrified at my lack-of-knowing-what-the-heck-I-was-doing. But I didn't care. And I ended up with a passable necklace. Pictures follow but are rather crappy. Oh well, you get the general idea.
