Art Bead Scene Blog: Spring on a String - A Spring Project


The Spring on a String necklace was inspired by the Claude Monet painting Walk in the Meadows at Argenteuil. Bright blue skies. Striking green and gold meadow. Spring at its finest...






Because there are no knots between the beads, the beads can float and move depending on your mood. 

Supplies: 
Spring green ultra suede www.minordtails.etsy.com
Pewter nest bead from www.greengirlstudios.com
Floral pewter button from www.mamacitabeadworks.etsy.com

Dream Ring...





Here David has taken the heated plaster cast and is melting my three rings plus a bit of extra gold for the "push". It is all spun to fill in the cavity in the mold and then doused in water to release the mold. 
Wow!



It was wonderful to see the process and David was so kind and helpful!

Where Have They Been (Updated!)


I am blessed to have so many talented designers and artists using my beads in their work! A designer incentive program is in the works and I am thinking of a bundled set or piece that I will send to an artist when they have a design featuring my work published in a magazine. While I ponder this, please check out these lovely designs....
