I did these this morning before work. The glass is side drilled and they are a good size. I bought them because of the color and then became intimidated by their size. I ran across them while rummaging thru my pack and thought it was time to try and work them into a design.
One of the ways I get the free form ideas (altho i guess they wouldn't be free form at that point) is I lay the bead on a piece of paper and doodle around it. It allows me to find a 'flow' around the bead, and it also helps to give me a visual - or a reference while I am working.
I love this one - that blue is so bright - it looks like it is lit up! Is like a little blue lantern
All shades of blue!!!! Funky, chic, clunky design. I may have to keep this one.....
You know me and random :)
Have a great weekend kids - am gonna be a the market all weekend wish me luck!!!
I love your wire work blue pendant. I have a thing for light blue and orange. Very creative design. I like how bale and the center loop are over each other with the briolette in the center.
ReplyDeleteWhen you're on a good thing stick to it, I say. Your on a winner with the copper and that pendant is sublime
ReplyDeleteLove it! I'm always drawn to copper.
ReplyDeleteGood luck this weekend!
Tish, I think I love copper just a tiny bit more than buttons. And I LOVE that blue pendant you made. It really does glow, doesn't it? I'm loving your wire works! :D
ReplyDeleteAwww, com'on, can you ever really have enough copper?
