Black, Bangles And Behind The Scenes

Time goes so fast!

It’s over a decade since I beaded this set of bangles with the triangles rotated which was an experiment in both shape and the effect of colour.

By changing the placement of where I put the black vs the colours, each piece looks a completely differently size despite being exactly the same. The black visually shrinks where it’s used which makes for a fascinating result.

Sadly I rarely use black in my work now as it’s such a nightmare to photograph and use in print but maybe I’ll break my rule soon to make a piece for myself.

At the moment I'm busy finishing the instructions for a big, big update to my Advanced Stars which will launch very soon...
