Ran into several issues. Many because I've never done this before, and most because of my lack of patience. I had the thicker twisted cord done but during the final knotting the beads started leaking. The taped end slipped off while knotting.
These jewelry strings are held by a filament that looks and feels like fishing line. Not cooperative. I didn't try to restring them with thread, should have. Anyway, I was afraid to go any further so just used twisted floss wrapped with one string. No intention to try again. If the glue holds those ends, I'll be surprised.
I do like the look though. Not all saturated blue, not neutral drab. So if tiny tiny beads start appearing on my floor, a two color cording will be the final. I think it's ideal for this piece.
Matilda Hornbuckle is up next.
Later.

As always Marly, that looks lovely. I have NO patience for working with beads! LOL
Sure hope the beads hold up as it looks mighty fine. Janice
Love that cording - it's a beautiful finish!
Such a unique way to trim your piece, Marly! Hope it holds up and I look forward to meeting Matilda :)
