This week I have been working on two totally different pieces. One is made of glass in a "fan" style and is crisp and clean in design, while the other is a beaded and formed fabric & lace "bib" style necklace using lots of recycled & vintage materials and beads. I enjoy working with different mediums and seeing where the creative process takes me. Sometimes I have a definite design that I wish to create while at other times while I may start out with a general idea of what I want to produce, the process seems to have a life of it's own and anything can end up happening. Click here to see more of my current designs. Best wishes Maxine ________________________________________________________________________  Adalia A recycled vintage crochet doily is backed with beading foundation to give this design structure and then lined once the stitching was completed. Cream and gold ribbon flowers in satin and organza decorate the base doily and are highlighted by beads and flower shaped, lustred buttons. A white frayed ribbon flower adds contrast. Recycled vintage glass pearls in white, green, mauve and cream, lined seedbeads, gold coloured rounds and small beadcaps (which have been flattened to form a flower shape) are joined with new gold coloured freshwater pearls, small white seedbeads and gold plated approx 9x11mm linked chain. The doily is finished will a recycled satin fringe of approx 13cm long. Drops of glass pearls hang from the lower section of the doily with some dangling amongst the fringe. The widest section of the "bib" is approx 25.5 cm and it is approx 13.5 deep (not including the fringe). The chain is finished with glass pearl on one end and a small toggle pin on the other. This togglr pin can be threaded through any of the links in the chain to give a range of lengths. ________________________________________________________________________  Adele 7 faceted trapezoid shaped 14-17x22 clear glass beads are separated by 6mm opaque black faceted glass to form the central fan of this necklace. Black opaque seedbeads attach the central design to the silver plated screw clasp. Length is approx 48.5cm |
