Adding Structure

I've finished adding the first layer of bottom fringe.

The next step was to add small sapphire blue rounds to the top between every picot.  After that was completed I began adding rows of herringbone stitched pieces between every loop from, the just added blue rounds to the fringe below.

This part will take a long time.  Adding the rows between the loops adds strength to the necklace.  The difficulty comes from trying to keep the line from tangling around all the other beads.  Once that has been completed for the full length of the necklace I will add a final layer of fringe to the bottom edge of the necklace.
