Beadwork....

[Glacier]

I've been hiding from the cold this afternoon. I was out all morning and have a frostbitten nose to show for it! This afternoon I stayed inside and did some beading. I'm silly happy with how this piece turned out!

It's quite a long necklace, all glass beads--japenese seed beads, czech and India glass. The big beads are from Peru. I have a friend who sells 'fair trade' crafts. Those beads are handmade by Peruvian women--even at the fair trade price they were a steal!

Close up of the pendant. If I wore more green, I'd be keeping this one for myself. Since I wear very little green, I think it will go to a little boutique in town that sells my stuff for me.

Really gorgeous! It looks like springtime.

I've got a whole pile of neglected bead projects that I should pull out and work on--thanks for the inspiration!

Wow, really lovely! Where did you get the findings? That latch is really pretty.

That is TOTALLY lovely! What will that sell for? ($?) if I may ask. ..... you can PM me if you'd rather.

Probably about 40$ canadian. I'd sell it a little cheaper privately. The store owner always adds a bit to my prices as she takes a commission from each sale.


cyber_sibes, I think that clasp came from Michael's.


Thanks everyone.
