Haven't blogged for a while, as things have been a bit crazy. I taught 6classes at the local Arts Council, and we had a ball! One of the new things we did this time was find some lovely designer pieces on the Tiffany web site, and using just basic supplies, we made our own "inspiration" versions. Good design doesn't have to be complicated , you see - and this exercise proved that elegance is often simple.
I've been invited back to do 8 classes starting in February, so I'm working hard towards creating suitable projects for the ladies. Some of my "students" are coming back for the third time, and I want to have some fresh ideas for them.
I've started a series I call Tuxedo, created with 4 colors of Swarovski crystal (what else?) ranging from jet to clear. These were created to wear to Christmas parties.
I'm working on a necklace that is 5 strands at the front, but only 3 at the sides and back. How can that be? Watch this space, ladies and Bead On!!
Welcome back! Those Tuxedo creations are magnificient..Bead on.
