Lawrence Welk Bubble Necklace

Not too many people remember Lawrence Welk.  He had this great bubble machine that would pump bubbles in the air as his orchestra would play catchy tunes, lots of which, were polkas.  I loved, of course, The Lennon Sisters.  I would watch the show with my grandparents who lived right next door to us in rural Indiana.  My daughter, Ellen, said she saw a client that had a clear bubble necklace on with a lime green cord.  This necklace is my interpretation of what she described.  I had red cord, of course, and ordered some bubbles.  Many compliments have been received when I wear this!  After showing Carl my newest creation, he said "It is uneven".  I replied, "Yes.  The beads are hand blown and aren't all exactly the same size".  He said, "No.  You have more small bubbles on one side than the other."  Oh.  Ah-one, ah-two, ah-three.  Jerilynn

  4. I saw the Lawrence Welk show in Branson, MO with Grandma and Grandpa about 17 years ago! I was the youngest person in the crowd. Too funny! I love this necklace. One additional idea I have on it: perhaps putting in a tiny spacer bead the same color as the cord between the clear bubble beads will add a touch more oomph?
