Artist's Comments

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

Art glass beads (emerald green and clear Moretti glass, 999 silver wire), Silver Art Clay, Fireline, Bali silver, green, grey and black agate beads, silver beads, findings.

Another set using satinated beads. These have a core of green, are encased in clear glass and finished with a few random silver dots on the surface. I then dunked the beads in etching fluid to satinate the surface.

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.

The armature was part of my rather doomed Silver Clay project over Christmas, but aside from a bit of warping it did all right and could be salvaged.

The heavily Art Nouveau influenced shapes and the milky mysterious green of the beads are somewhat responsible for the fanciful title of this piece.

I love the liquid feel of the pendant. Everything works together so well, and those glass beads have a really nifty glow to them. ^..^

Oooooh very nice. I didn't know if the title was going to be apt for the piece, but it definitely is.

the style of the pendant is so different, it's very intriguing. I like the 2 beads - the larger one is very pretty and it's nice to see you could salvage some of your silver into such a beautiful piece - warped or not - i would never have known if you hadn't said - i thought that was the intention of the shape!
