bead soup

This will be my first time at the BEAD SOUP PARTY. I am partnered with Charlene Sevier. You can see her work here. Thank you Charlene, I just received the bead soup packet... beautiful colors...if any of you are familiar with my work, she really has given me a challenge. She asked that I send her bead soup packet at the last day of the month being that she is at the Tucson Bead Show...lucky her.

OK...let's get inventive, it's time to create.

See the finished piece here on February 26th.

Also, A watercolor portrait class at Art Unraveled Phoenix August 2011 and

Title: DESTINY AND DESIRE

Mixed Media Necklace
SOLD

Keeping busy making components for my art jewelry designs. The above necklace has hand crafted beads, tiny water media art pieces, a tassel made from silk that I brought back from Japan when I taught there, and a hand crafted flower from vintage silk...all attached to a hand crafted raw silk cord. The real thing has a lot more magenta tones that actually reads red in the photo.....

enjoy.

Art Bead Scene featured this painting by Wayne Thiebaud as the inspiration for the January ABS Challenge. I was inspired by the grid like pattern and textures. The result is the necklace above.
