With all that being said, let me show you a sampling of what I've been up to for the last 4 years - my beadwork has really grown by leaps and bounds. Can you tell the difference between these and my previous posts? I sure can! It's always educational looking back at your old work.
This one features a borosilicate glass squid pendant by my favorite Knoxville TN glass artist, Shawn Bungo of Bungo Glass. He is self taught, just like me, and I think our work goes together phenomenally well. I have quite the collection at this point!
This is the first of my Third Eye polymer clay faces that I made into a necklace - I love how this one turned out, but the shape was incredibly difficult to capture...lesson learned!
One night driving from Maryville TN home to Knoxville, I drove (white-knuckled) through a phenomenal electrical storm. Seriously, I have never seen anything so spectacularly illustrate the immensity of weather before or since. I was immediately inspired to create this thunder and lightening necklace!
The Man in the Machine is one of my favorites! I made all of the polymer clay gears, along with the face, and it is beautiful on the back as well.
I just love the color combination on this necklace. This was a bit of a break through piece for me as far as composition too.
This piece is full of experiments! Experimental strap, ruffles, netting, brick stitch ring, and toggle out of bugles...I just love making a bunch of disparate components come together into a piece.
Just look at that texture! It is so rewarding to bring a creature like this back to life.
Thank you so much for looking! If I fall off the blogosphere again, please do pester me via my Facebook page or my Etsy shop - I really love hearing your feedback!
Yay! I had a couple blogs that both fell into the black abyss...Hope that this starts a cool new habit for you! =)
