One of these special things was a pair of dyed silk cocoons, which turned into a pair of simple earrings.
I have already worn them and I've got many compliments, everyone found them so exotic.
I have made two more pairs of earrings, a really simple pair from the glass acorn beads, and another from the painted pebble beads. They are painted with shades if yellow and green, colors I love so much. I just added large olive faceted beads and silver wire, Although these are a bit heavy to wear, I really love them.
I used one of the clasps I received as a focal for a necklace, with the red barrel beads, the cream sari cord and one of the faceted teardrops. Red is not really my color but I thought my mom likes and wears red, so a necklace could be a nice gift for her. This is also why I wanted to keep it simple.
Then here come two bracelets. I thought the mauve sari strand fits so well with the beautiful copper and enamel clasp, I just added copper wire and copper chain and some purple glass breads. For the other bracelet (this is my favorite piece) I used the yellow-green sari strand with a lampwork bead I purchased from a Hungarian artist some time ago, bronze-tone lucite beads, olive green and metallic green glass beads.
So this is it. Working with beads like these (as I'm a seed beader) is always a challenge for me but one I enjoy a lot. I also planned to use the large dark green ceramic pendant in bead embroidery but unfortunately I didn't have time to do it yet. Until then I'm really happy with these pieces :)

VálaszTörlésYour pieces are great. I love what you made with those great beads
VálaszTörlésGoodness me Agi, you have created so many absolutely beautiful pieces!!!! I love every one of them. But my favourites are the cocoon earrings, and the red necklace. The earrings are stunning! Everything you make is so well executed. I like the way you made the earrings with the delicate dangles. Very inspiring!
VálaszTörlésYour soup as a whole took me to some new areas I haven't been visiting before, and I really really appreciate that. My experience has expanded so to speak. Now I only wish to also make something great looking with your polymer clay beads.
It has been such a pleasure to be your partner in this party, and I know I will definetely keep following you and your doings in the future. :-)
