The ruminations of an artist on art & life...art quilts, beading, knitting, drawing, painting, printmaking, bookmaking are all my passions, I love to explore creating....
New bead crochet--orange leaves and fringes....a choker to wear to my daughter's graduation...she's finished her Masters! and this just happens to go with the dress I'm wearing--so I finished it, just in time! and it seems only fitting that the big carved leaf was a gift from my other daughter....
Happy Graduation Kesia! and much Congrats from your Mom! you are precious and will give much to the world.
A note on technique: the free form fringes were added on after I completed the bead crochet.
A few years ago my sister sent me this lovely Mother-of-pearl and silver mermaid pendant made by an artisan in Alaska. Since I can't wear metal--I usually wore the pendant on a black cord--but always wanted to create a bead crochet necklace for the pendant...so here it is. Since I used mostly crystals, and white and clear seedbeads this was difficult to photograph with my point and shoot canon---but isn't the pendant lovely? I crocheted the seed beads and crystals around a silk cord--which ties in the back. I used silver bead caps on the ends of the bead crochet to finish this necklace off.
