With two movies featuring Lincoln out last year, it was inevitable that I should try my hand at making an interpretation of Mary Lincolns necklace. ;)
I say interpretation because obviously, there was no way that I could take something so grand and so intricate and be able to imitate it with my current supplies. So, I merely created my own version with my ever present pearls. :D
Pictured in the black and white is Mary Todd Lincoln wearing her necklace and displaying her queenly beauty.
Pictured in color, is Mary Todd Lincoln as portrayed by Sally Fields in 'Lincoln' the movie.

Thank you very much. :D
I enjoyed making this and I am glad that you liked it as well. Thats what made this worthwhile in the end. ;)

Also, I looked up Empress Elizabeth, someone I will research as well, and found her to be very beautiful. In fact, no offense to Mrs. Lincoln, I found Empress Elizabeth to be more beautiful in every way. Also...she was a woman who loved to let her hair down. ;) (I noticed her looooooong hair. :D )

What made you think of Empress Elizabeth? I really didnt see a resemblance...granted I was also looking at younger pictures of her too.

Elisabeth was a very beautyful person i love her hair. (i'm like long her and hers was just WOW knee-lenght, i think)
this braid on her head made me think of her famous hairstyle [link] (i know, this isn't elisabeth but i likr the sideview of this hairstyle.)
i'm trying to figure out how her hairdresser made this...

Her hair was gorgeous! I was envious!
All I can think of...is image the amount of shampoo or soaps she had to use! :D

So, if you don't mind me asking, and I am asking for a reason, how much does it cost you for a case of pearls? How much do you normally get in a casing of them?

For the smaller pearls I get over a hundred for 3.50
For those big pearls, the ones in the middle with the design on them? Those I get about seven of them on a strand for nearly six dollars. ;) See why I am using them somewhere else? ;)
