POEM

Ode to a Necklace of Hated Beads

To the lop-sided
And the grungy.
To the heavy
And the awkward.
A little off-color
With just a touch of whimsy.

LIST OF MATERIALS:

Strung on tiger tail
findings on each strand
mixed color and type

beads: plastic, glass, fimo, faux pearls, terra cotta seed, filagree faux gold, pot metal

coconut shells
wooden leaves
and possible others
1 pink ribbon

CLOSE-UP
The two strands are tied together with a pink ribbon.

CLASP ASSEMBLY
There are two strands, and each has its own clasp. The first uses a lobster claw and a hook. The other uses a spring ring and a figure 8 piece.
