Rather than hand-knotted chains, they are now interwoven strands of beads using the same tough and durable nymo cord, but the look is more round and more in sync with the size of the cubes, and even more important than that, I am able to blend colors of beads into new and unique combination's which can be recreated for my clients to pair up with the motivational phrases or words that they would like. I am going to create a Flickr file to which they can refer when they are either choosing to order the jewelry as pictured in my shop, or when they are special ordering pieces. This file will simply be pictures of different color blends of seed beads, named, which they can choose from.
The problem? I am absolutely awful at naming my work as it is! There is a lot of jewelry hanging around here that is completed and even photographed, but not listed for sale only because I have no idea what to call it. Sad, huh?
So I'm wondering if I can ask your advice? I am going to now post a bunch of the chain blends that I have come up with, some of which I have tentative names for, and some of which I don't have a clue what to call, and number them. If you see any that you can come up with a name for, would you please post the number and your suggested name in the comments section of this blog post? Even if I indicate that I have a name, if you have something that you think will work equally well or even better, let me know.
It is a terrible thing to be frozen in spot because I am not creative enough in this arena.
Thank you THIS MUCH for your help!

5. should be Strawberry Shortcake. That way we can have the dessert without the calories. :)
2. azure seas, 4. sparkling sands, 12. heron in flight.....I picked these names because when I saw your jewelry, they reminded me of favorite places and things I see back home in
BC. I'm at my folks in the midwest recovering from surgery, and seeing your jewelry brought the same peace and sense of beauty I feel when I'm walking on the beach in BC or when I'm watching the blue herons fly overhead. Truthfully, so many of your projects made me think of being outdoors and around God's creation, but those three were the specific names that popped into my head right away.
p.s. I come here from Ang's blog, just so you know I"m not a complete stranger. =)
