It is time to post for Jeannie Dukic's Do Over Challenge 9. The pic above is what I received from her. It contains 5 of her wonderful polymer clay beads.
Here is what I made. I liked her design but I wanted Jeannie's colorful polymer beads to stand out more. I selected a neutral brown color which was used in the marbling on the beads and stitched peyote tubes for between the beads to replace the silver. Then I stitched netted tubes for the straps to replace the chain. I chose copper beads caps to finish the netted tubes and a copper clasp to finish off my design. The changes that I made are subtle but I am very pleased with the outcome. The colors in the clay beads now really shine.
I think you've done a wonderful job. Those gorgeous beads really pop now and the whole piece has a more substantial feel to it.
ReplyDeleteThanx Nelly. It feels great to have other beaders like my work.
DeleteShine On! :) Bead weaving always intrigues me. It's so magical. I like the brown, perfect Fall necklace. Becky I want to thank you for your support and participation over the years, it's been a pleasure. Have fun at the TCBB and say "Hi" to Dee for me. XO
ReplyDeleteThanx Jeannie, I am glad that you like what I did. I will say hi from you.
DeleteI love how you had the tube wide around the outside and then narrowed between the beads! It really extra emphasizes that that area is the focal of the necklace. Great work!
ReplyDeleteThanx Rachel. I am pleased that you like my design.
DeleteTruly amazing...you made Jeannie's beads POP, and gave the necklace new life. I'm inspired by your creativity!
ReplyDeleteThanx Donetta, I am thrilled that you like my design. It is wonderful to hear that I inspire others.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I love what you did with the brown seed beads - it really does make the ceramic beads stand out!
