Texture was the prompt for this week of focusing on life. I had my latest jewelry pieces on my board for pictures and I notices the texture in the pieces. So I added a couple more pieces and here it is. I love the seed bead stitched waves in the aqua piece. The chain maille with turquoise rubber rings and silver jumprings was the piece that made me decide to use my jewelry to show texture. Of course natural shells have their own texture. It's hard to beat Mother Nature for texture.The coiled magnetic copper wire has a unique texture that I couldn't resisting adding to the mix. The yellow and light blue bead embroidered focal has several textures. Texture is part of why I enjoy bead embroidery so much. I took several nature pics this week like leaves, seed pods, and petrified wood, but in the end my jewelry won out.What can I say, beads are a huge part of my life and most stuff relates to them in some way. To see what interesting textures others found this week check out Sally's blog

I appreciate everyone's visits and comments each week as I explore my life through a camera lens this year. I am enjoying getting to know all the other artists better as we go through this challenge.
gorgeous colours and textures - perfect for this week's prompt!
ReplyDeletehave a blessed week :)
Thanx Claire. I hope you have a blessed week also.
DeleteGreat shot or all the different colors and textures!
ReplyDeleteThanx Adrienne.
DeleteGorgeous jewelry!! I especially like the red one that circles all the rest. You've been busy!!!
ReplyDeleteThanx Alice. I have found that I really enjoy working with the magnetic copper wire. The results are so much deeper and richer than plain copper wire. Also the coating on it makes the wire not turn green like regular copper does.
DeleteGreat display of jewelry...and texture!
ReplyDeleteThanx Beti. I did take some nature texture pics this week but the beads won out.
DeleteLovely work... it's nice seeing some jewellery posted this week!
ReplyDeleteThanx Lynn. I never go very long without having beads in my hands in some way or another.
DeleteOoh, you've got some fabulous pieces there, and some really great textures - I love the turquoise and pearls - it looks like coral - just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanx Diana. The turquoise and pearls are my new favorite necklace. I also wear the magnetic copper wire necklace a often.
ReplyDeleteWe all seem to have segued away from our jewelry somewhat...it's nice to see yours! Great texture!
ReplyDeleteThanx Lori. Beads are a part of me almost everyday so it was natural for me to see texture in them.
ReplyDeleteOh, such pretty colors and textures! I like that turquoise piece!
ReplyDeleteThanx Annette. The aqua piece is part of a challenge that I entered for Znetshows.com. You can see it better if you go one post back.
ReplyDeleteHi Becky, Your bead texture composition gives me a beachy feel, with the colors and the shells. I agree about texture and bead embroidery!
ReplyDeleteHi Paula, I'm glad you got a beachy feeling. Beach was the theme for the challenge I was in. I was photographing three of the pieces when I decided to use my beadwork to show texture.
DeleteLove all the colors and textures! The pearl and shell necklace is just perfect! Looks like something a little mermaid would wear!
ReplyDeleteThanx Patty, I was in a challenge that the theme was beaches. If you think that a little mermaid would wear it then I must have got the theme across well.
DeletePerfect example of texture and one of my favorites too!!
ReplyDeleteThanx Hope. It's hard to go wrong with texture. It is everywhere. I seem to be able to relate to most thing in my life to beads. I turn to them first really a lot.
ReplyDeleteI also am a big fan of bead embroidery because of the texture. Your bead work was great idea for this week's challenge.
ReplyDeleteThanx Mary. I can usually find an excuse to play with my beads.
DeleteNow THESE are some great textures!! I'm especially taken w/the pearls and shells one,....but they are all exquisite and great examples of our texture prompt this week for certain!
ReplyDeleteThanx Shel I found some blue chain that I think I am going to add to the blue side of the pearl and shell piece for a little more balance and texture.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty. I wish I had the talent and patience for seed beads but I mostly say things that shouldn't be said when I use them.
ReplyDeleteThanx Patty. I love seed beads. Bead embroidery is my most favorite thing to do. We each have our own talents. I am sure there are things that you do that I would say bad words at too.
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely. And right back at ya - I'm enjoying the series as well. :)
ReplyDeleteThanx Lori
