Black and White

Classic black and white in classic dot beads.  And this isn't all of them.

Back to basics.

 I had to make a few sets of basic dot beads, and I made them in some of the basic basic colors that I

love to work with over and over. This type and color of beads to me just seem classic.

I hadn't made ........

 .............spiky necklaces for a little while.  Then a customer asked for a commissioned piece and I got carried away making spikes.

 This necklace hangs a little differently than the ones I have done in the past and I really like how the big cluster looks.  That pop of red in there just had to be. :-)

Of course there had to be earrings to go with.

Joan's Necklace

One of my customers from Stitches Midwest, Joan Berenbaum, got the pendent in this picture from me a year ago.  She made this fantastic beaded kumihimo necklace to use as a chain for the pendant.  I love how the little white beads in the kumihimo piece make the white in the pendant pop out.  A very talented lady don't you think?
