Description

I am expressely proud of this piece of handwoven jewelry. It is my first complete piece (other than the hair baretts) that was made using no pattern whatsoever, only my knowledge of stitches and imagination. I've wanted to do a piece like this for so very long as I've been inspired time and time again by beadweaving projects I've seen both on and off of dA.

The large pieces are semi-flat backed glass beads in shades of black and deep maroon. They are secured using the square and back stitch method on the beading around them. The external back is secured using the sunshine edge technique of which the fringe is woven in and out of.

The necklace strap is composed of netting and the metal pieces with the beads on top are spacers and are attatched using the stacks technique.

I hope that all that view this piece enjoy it as much as I do.

I love the colors they used, very Gothic and fun. I am not sure if the rectangular cabochons were supposed to be so dark-it may be the lighting or an artistic choice.

To bead this without a pattern is magnificent! Its great to see work from people that is original and dreamed up on a whim. This designer really knows how to work with different textures and elements.

The earrings are gorgeous-I love the contrast between the rich mahogany cabochons and the black beads. Very classy!

I also like the way the necklace hangs, the style is great. Its well-balanced and the fringe is done very well. Making fringe isn't easy to do!
