Artist's Comments

(2003) 16" length, red sweetwater pearls, gold lustre size 15 seed beads, burgundy metallic and gold lustre size 11 seed beads, matte burgundy and gold triangle beads, nylon thread, cold-filled sterling crimps, jump-rings and closure finding.

This piece is done in circular brick stich around each of the cental pearls. I finished each circle with a picot edge and then sewed them together for a necklace. Brick stitich is more forgiving than Peyote if you want to combine different sizes and shapes of beads

How are women and tornadoes alike?

They both moan like hell when they come, and take the house when they leave.

Wow..I love your beads works.
I can tell that you spend many times on this, right?
It's beautiful!!!
:iconellygator:
Thanks! I've done beadwork for many, many years now, and yes, I also spend an obscene amount of time doing it. But I think it becomes addictive after a while...
