I have been in the studio the last couple of weeks trying out some new things while also clinging to the past. The result is six finished pieces. Some you may recognize, like the "
Floral Lentil Necklaces" and the "
Ring of Periwinkles Necklace", these styles are popular at shows. I experimented with some new designs which I strung the metal clay elements on bead wire with gemstones and Hill tribe silver. Both of these necklaces are 16" shorter styles with motifs that encircle the entire neck. The "
Tribal Necklace" combines hand cut silver tab beads with faceted Indian rubies. The "
Spiky Necklace" is just as it sounds. A series of hand formed silver spike beads, in various sizes, with small Hill Tribe silver beads in between. I have Test driven (worn) these styles and they are pretty comfortable to wear, so no worries!
I also attempted a
working locket style, which I think is a bit rough around the edges, but I guess that's part of the charm? Maybe, I don't know.
