First paperweight closeup
I was going to make a flattened shape at the end of the process, but decided not to when the round shape was starting to look pretty.
First paperweight !
No, it's not a very large bead...it's a paperweight !!! I made it with my own two hands (plus two more-the instructor's). I've been dying to try hot glass and finally fit in a trip to DC Glassworks for one of their open house sessions. They have artists making handblown stemware and other beautiful items. One of these days, I hope to have extra funds to pay for more classes.
Agate Slice Necklace
I took a lovely leaf-shaped slice of agate that I had purchased several years ago and covered the edges with Czech beads in peyote stitch.
Falling Leaves Bracelet
Here is another piece for the show. It is a recycled bracelet covered in leather and herringbone stitch to which I added lots of different leaf shapes and colors.
Green Mosaic Necklace
New featured artist show at Artists' Undertaking Gallery ! The theme of our show is "A Change of Season." I focused on the changing colors of leaves and this necklace uses the leaf shapes in the cabochon as the focal point.
