"Dark Shadows"
Handmade Clay Bead Necklace Beads from Columbia
The beads used in this necklace were made in a mission in Bogotá.
The directors came to the states and sold the clay beads that were made by their students to help support the mission school
The name of this necklace reflects on my thoughts of the hard times that these young people had to face.
A mix of black hieshi type beads, triangle focal piece, half moons and small silver colored beads interspersed through out.
I strung the silver beads into small circles and used them as spacers.

Wandering Paths
Each side of this intricate macramé picks up the colors on both sides of the dicroic glass pendent.
Interspersed here and there amidst the tiny knots, you will find a few beads which add a touch of sparkle.
Macramé at this level is extremely time consuming and the end result is truly a work of art.
The top of the necklace is a selection of beads carrying through the many colours of the pendant and adding sparkle right to the toggle clasp.

Fishing for Compliments
This fish is swimming in a warm sea of cool turquoise blues with sparks of orange sun shining through the tropical sea .

Putting it together was an experiment in using minuscule weavings and tying them all together with beads.
The clasp of the necklace is a knot tied at the end, and the is loop macramé.
This necklace is light weight as it is put together with fibers, a nice meld of two techniques.
