I ultimately decided to add electric blue to the lovely green of the Sue Bead... along with some shades of green that match *perfectly*. There are China glass faceted beads, Swarovski crystals, freshwater pearls and stick pearls...
The blue crystals are coated clear rock crystal quartz.
See? Perfect! :)
I adore how this set turned out! I think it's just lovely.

That is really unique. I wonder where you got all those pearls. ;) LOL. I do love the color choices.
ReplyDeleteI think it's just lovely too! I love how you attached the chicklet to the quartz. Really clever and eye catching. The beads you chose look great together. I love those stick pearls!
ReplyDeleteI never would have thought of wire wrapping the chicklet! I love the color palette you used. It makes me think of a unique plant growing in the ocean. Beautiful job!!

Very different... I know, that sounds like I'm saying someone has a good personality, right? LOL But it is different, and makes me think about using a bead in a different way, and that's a GOOD thing!
ReplyDeleteThat color palette is stunning! Way to go!
ReplyDeleteWow - what a great idea! I would NEVER have thought to add it to another bead - just brilliant! =)

Pearls, I never thought of pearls, but they are perfect! And you've mixed and matched in such lovely colors, sizes, shapes, and textures. The pearls, Sue's bead, and the crystals... what a fabulous combination!

ReplyDeleteI ADORE this set too, Andrea! It's BEAUTIFUL! Magical, special and exquisite jewelry art. The colorway of the rich, natural elements: the ethereal blue crystal quartz point, pearls, Swarovski, lampwork. A fairy tale jewelry ensemble. I'm so in love. Isn't it amazing the gorgeous art that can come through a gifted, powerful, and beautiful artist like you? I love this so much, I have to create two pages in our magazine!! It's stunning!! The STAR of the show!! xxoo
