Was messing around, learning circular brick stitch. Had some odd ideas of how to piece these together for a necklace (with a lot of other pieces too, obviously), but set them aside for a while to work on some other projects.
At the beginning of August I made three wraps and three bags for a friend's wedding. It was one of the most rewarding projects I've completed. And I was delighted to see the bridesmaid's use their gifts at the wedding.
This is a detail of the beading I did on the wraps.

I couldn't decide which fringe I liked better on these earrings, so I posted it to Facebook. They couldn't decide either.
Based on a project I saw on Artbeads.com, this is for an upcoming birthday. The sparkly roundels (adjacent to the red crystals) are topaz.
Made from peach Swarovski pearls, red Swarovski crystals, and Topaz crystal rondelles.
Now that they've been given, I guess it's safe to say they were for @jessiechar, one of my (now ex-Delicious Monster employees) friends.
For this piece, I wanted to focus on the elements of composition. In the area of color, I chose to use vibrant hues and specifically not have them in the traditional order of a rainbow. I created bead wrapped balls and suspended them inside the woven chain for a contrast between hard and soft textures. The chain was created through double weave that was alternated between open and closed sides. The suspension of the balls inside the chain also cause an interest through the shadow created by light passing through the piece.
