Gothic Chevron Faux Pearl Anklet

When I was recently on my sailing trip to Monteque Harbour on Main Island I created a fun anklet with some faux pearls that I had kicking around in my bead box.  I wanted to create a fun anklet that you could wear all summer long.  I had seen this chevron stitch before on necklaces but I had yet to test my skill at creating a piece.  I did not have enough of the faux pearls to create a necklace and so I started out creating a bracelet with the intent of using up these beads.  I realized once I had finished one side that it was rather long for a bracelet but decided to finish it off by mirroring the chevron pattern.  The length turned out to be 8" which surprisingly was just the size that I needed to fit around my ankle.  Who knew.

I recently sold the Gothic Chevron Faux Pearl anklet and it is winging it's way off to a new home.  I think that I may need to make one for myself since I am going to miss the anklet.

Among my earliest memories is of visitng a museum when I was four years old and being totally mesmerized by the Native American exhibits of textiles and decorative work. I stood there staring and staring and had to be dragged away. 3. Do you do any other crafts? I have done some small fiber weaving (loom work interestingly enough and I love it), ...
