If you've been reading along lately, you know that I have recently been gifted (by the world's best husband) lamp working equipment. When I saw this picture, one of the two inspiration pieces for this month's Margie and Me (hosted by the wonderful Marcie), it reminded me so, so much of swirls of glass. I had fun trying to get the swirls going!
When I sat down to put the necklace together, I had in mind something tasseled. It seems to fit the dress and I had success trying something tasseled before. (By the way, have you ever tried to spell tasseled? Spell check is struggling :-)) On my bead table is the bowl of beads I made taking Barbara Lewis' Painting With Fire class, and there were a couple that worked perfectly for what I had in mind:

This is lovely, Elisabeth. Your lampworking is awesome. Never know you're a beginner! Love the beads, too! Very pretty necklace!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bead (and necklace!), very reminiscent of your inspiration piece.
ReplyDeleteOh, Oh, Oh! (Jumping up and down yelling) That is so awesome!!! I think you need to do a giveaway with it....to me! :) Fantastic piece. You really make me want to think about Barbara's enameling. But I just can't see my hubs agreeing to me using...fire. Of any kind. :)
