Redo!

I'm not sure about other artists, but sometimes I'll make something that I'm just not happy with. Perhaps it's my perfectionist mentality. One of the necklaces I had created for the Bead Soup Blog Party falls into that category. There are some things I do like about the piece, such as the color combination and some of the specific beads. However, it lays funny when worn and seems a bit unbalanced to me, so I decided to redesign it and make a new necklace! Here are the before and after photos.


Before


After

So what do you think? Is a big improvement, or did you like the original better?

  1. I really like the after much better. It is much more balanced and a lot more fashionable. Cheers!

  2. I do like the before one better...maybe would remove the big bead hanging above the key and add a smaller one "in" the key. I liked the toggle there, it gave that whole designer touch.

    1. Thanks for you honesty Kashmira! Having said that about the toggle, I think I agree with you.
      I'm just not sure I can bring myself to remake this a third time! haha!

  3. Like the second one. To me the first one is to..to...to...stiff.

  4. I think you 'hit it out of the park' on the second attempt. Nice job! :-D

  5. Like the second necklace better. The black findings are too dark for it in my opinion. The new necklace is softer and prettier.
