Pearl Jewelry – 1

This is my latest craze. I want to learn jewelry making/beading. I bought lot of stuff last week and this week. This is my first complete set. Have so much to improve, but I already love it.
I got a big bunch of white beads(don’t know if they are pearls, but atleast they look like pearls). They are a collection of different sizes and slightly different shades. I thought I had used same shade for the necklace, was very careful, but when taking picture, I realized they are of slightly different shade. Have to be more careful next time. Don’t want to redo this one. So I will keep this as it is,
I also need different kind of thread. I don’t like the wire that I used to make the necklace. It is too stiff.
