(2012), 16" for the necklace. Size 15 seed beads (transparent cream lined, transparent iris lilac, transparent blue lined), nylon thread, art glass beads, focal bead.
Made this as a present for my wonderful DA friend She paints like a goddess, and I am particularly partial to her lions. So when I saw this focal bed which is actually one of a pair of glass earrings made by [link] I just had to use this "Leo" to make a necklace for her. The blue of the focal is very much what you see in the colors of her lions. Here are some samples! Go watch her, if you're not already!
Thank you! I love creams and blues - always so beachy! And yeah, the earrings are just amazing. Almost make me regret that as a 40+ year old business consultant ear-stretching really is not on my agenda. All of their creations just scream to be worn!
ah with the colour scheme it really looked like raw stitching to me.. how cool is that I also like how fast netting is. but the tight edges of square stitch are mostly my preferred technique. and am loving the free shape you get in embroidery now that i managed that technique better and better. i like being able to do animals like the killer whales etc... peyote is nice for working patterns i guess.
why not? it's a slow stitch but gives great results. i wanna learn as many stitches as possible . you should be fond of dutch spirals too btw.. its a neat twist on circular peyote
