Work In Progress- Beading Around Beads
posted on Monday, 05 February 2007
Yet another work in progress!
I'm continuing to bead around beads but this time it's to make flat pieces of jewellery. I'm planning to make a large centrepiece for a necklace but decided to begin on a smaller scale.
This will turn into a cuff bracelet and will be formed entirely of different sized and coloured round Swarovski crystals that I have beaded around.
I spent a long time pondering what colours to use around the reds, pinks and oranges of the crystals and as I was going through my beads was struck by the grey. It works great and provides a fantastic back drop for the colours and sparkle in the crystals. I don't use grey much, usually black as a background colour, but it can often be 'too much' - so I'm really pleased how this has worked out and will definitely use grey more in the future.
