A silk necklace

My sister made the top necklace a few years ago in a hand made jewelry course she was taking. They painted a piece of silk, then turned it into a necklace using wooden hand painted beads. Now we're making a new one, the one on the bottom photo. It's almost finished, the only thing missing is the little metal clasps to make the closure, I need to go supply shopping to get them and I'll buy a few more, I have an idea about making a bracelet the same way.
Have a great day :-)
