here are my pieces -
I incorporated the seed beads into a double spiral rope, one of my favorite stitches!
The wire wrapped focal is based on a pattern from Lisa Barth. I loved the wire wrapping and have only attempted it once before.
As soon as I received the pearls I knew this is what I wanted to do with them. It is pattern from Isabella Lam that I have always wanted to make. I thought it would be the perfect little necklace to peek out from under a collared shirt, and it is!
Do hope you enjoyed my pieces! Happy Beading, enjoy! gv
Amazing Work Gail!! I love the wire wrapping of the focal and the addition of those darling drop beads is glorious!! the peeking pearl necklace is delightful as well!! love your work!!
