I created two pieces and as of tonite one is still in the works. My procrastination and sore hands kept me from finishing the third. Hopefully the third will be finished and added to this post tomorrow. First up in the completed category is a little pair of earrings, the remind of gasplant flowers. One of the advantages of lucite is how light it is for earrings! Too bad my budget is currently on a no new beads diet or I would be searching for more of these little petal beads.
Second on the finished list is a necklace, made with that pretty floral focal bead. I added some of my own lampwork in the way of leafy headpins and hollow beads. Then I added a 4 strand plaited ribbon "chain". I have never done 4 strand plait. The plait gave me a bit of trouble as I tend to do everything from cross stitch to braiding horses manes and tails in a very tight tension. Ribbon does not appreciate being worked tightly, and when you over tighten it buckles and puckers.
(Sorry this is a lil dark.)
The third and as yet unfinished piece is a bracelet. The headpins below will dangle from the wire wraps on the cuff.
While I finish up the bracelet, I hope you will hop along and visit the other participants. Be sure to stop by A Grateful Artist - Pine Ridge Treasures and thank Lisa for putting this together :).
