Worktable Wednesday - Things Get Messy
Pull this color and that color
Some make it, others don't.
I re-threaded my needle I don't know how many times trying different colors and beads until I finally completed the pendant parts.
Although I thought I was going Art Nouveau, my husband thinks it has a Western look to it.I see that. Maybe Western Art Nouveau?
All that is left is connecting the pieces and deciding on a necklace strap. Although I really want to try my new berry beads from Miyuki, I'm leaning towards taking apart the chain and wiring these gorgeous light sage pearls in between the links. I could do both, but I'm thinking that's too heavy and I want the focus on the pendant. Which do you like the feel of the best?

Yes! Good eyes. : ) I don't remember even when I pulled that out. I think when I was working on that series of ocean inspired pieces. I may do something with it in metal, as I've got a commission I need to do next that will be a silver pendant.I was thinking the same thing - soft, hard.... wish I could come up with something in between maybe. Might have to let it soak for a bit.

This piece is going to be gorgeous! People have made a lot of good points for both options. I think that it'll work out well either way.
That is stunning! amazing
That is stunning! amazing beadwork!! I can see the southwest influence, but 'fringe' would bring that out. I think the pearls keep it closer to Art Nouveau? this is simply gorgeous!
