Oli pakko opetella ihan uutta jälleen, eli puuhelmien solmiminen vahanauhaan. Ruskeat, noin 20 mm puuhelmet oli pujotettu kuminauhaan, eli varsinainen kuristuspanta (vasemmalla ylhäällä). Pujottelin helmet ruskeaan 2 mm vahattuun puuvillanauhaan ja solmut väliin. Hopeanvärinen papukaijalukko. (oikealla alhaalla)
Violetit puuhelmet olivat totaalisessa alennustilassa eli irrallaan (vasemmalla alhaalla). Ne solmin kaksinkertaiseen violettiin 1 mm vahanauhaan samalla tekniikalla kuin punon makeanveden helminauhoja. Kullanväriset nauhanpäätteet ja papukaijalukko. Kohtuullisen onnistunut harjoitustyö (oikealla alhaalla). ,-)

I had to learn again a new technique, namely using waxed cotton cord, for this repairing project. But I don't mind, it's just good to keep my hands and brain working. ,-) The big (about 20 mm) brown wooden beads were originally strung into a elastic cord, making quite a choker (picture on upper left). I strung them into a brown 2 mm waxed cotton cord and knotted between each bead. Finally I put on silver coloured clasp (picture on upper right).
The pretty lilac wooden beads were in a real mess (lower left). I used 1 mm waxed cotton cord in violet color and made the necklace just like I make fresh water pearl necklaces: with a double cord and knotting between beads. Here I had gold coloured cord ends and clasp (lower right). I'm quite satisfied with these projects.

The glass pearl necklace in cream and green colour was very dirty and to my eyes the beads seemed quite worn out. It was strung to a curly piece of fishing line with one big bead loose. The clasp was badly broken, in fact torn to bits (picture on the left). I cleaned the faux pearls very gently, strung them into beading wire and added a gold tone clasp. As the owner wanted some more length to her necklace, I also added size 8/o golden colour silver lined seed bead between all the pearls. I'm quite disappointed with the photo on the right, which was taken very hastily. It's soooo bad (the pearls didn't loose their colour at all), and now I can't take another picture, because the necklace has already gone "home".

Yes, it is silver in the photos on the left, although it seems hard to believe. The exotic looking old chain was badly bent in some places, so I took my pliers and very, very gently straightened the twisted parts. Then I cleaned the necklace and was surprised myself as well (picture on the right). The small brooch was a tough cookie, because there was something black and sticky on it. But I took my time with an old, soft toothbrush and voilá: it is reasonably clean now.
