Belcolore

(2006) 16" for the overall length of the necklace, 2" x 2 3/4" for the pendant.

Art glass beads (Black, ivory and clear Moretti glass, enamel powder, 999 silver wire, silver leaf), Silver Art Clay, Fireline, Bali silver, multicolored agate beads, silver beads, 22 gauge silver wire, findings.

Another silver art clay piece from my recent holiday projects. The beads here consist of a slightly flattened center bead and a smaller bead dangle which both showed a surprising array of reaction colors with the pure silver foil I added during the shaping process.

The beads are attached to a Silver Art Clay "armature" which I designed, shaped and fired attaching silver wire rings in the process to which I could later wirework the beads.

I wanted to pick up on the glass bead colors and reinforce them by using multicolored agate beads in the supporting necklace, hence the title...
