Every month the folks at Art Bead Scene run a monthly challenge. They show a piece of art to inspire you and you submit a piece you’ve made using the inspiration to their group pool on Flick. This month I even remembered to enter (barely)!
My piece is simple – a few of my flower beads and some jewel toned glass beads wired onto a small brass stamping then wired onto a necklace chain. It gave me the perfect chance to make real use of my new macro lens for my camera! I have to admit, I’m smitten.
I love the colors and design in your piece. It is so very beautiful!
Thanks Star! I was doodling and it turned out well!
Elaine, it’s beautiful!!!
I don’t blame you for being smitten! This totally pulled me in when I saw the picture on the ABS blog. Perfect petals! Thank you for sharing.
Enjoy the day!

WOW, simply gorgeous, those flowers AND leaves are stunning. BEEEEautiful!!!
Absolutely breathtaking!
Beautiful! The colors are amazing!
I feel in love when I saw this piece on Art Bead Scene’s page. Is it for sale? If so, how much?
It’s beautiful Elaine! Really curious about the backside…would you care to show?
The backside is a mess – I made this piece quickly for the ABS challenge and did not use fine enough wire to do neat weaving through the brass filigree but that is what it is – an oval brass pieces with wire weaving the beads through the holes and then wound around the edges. I then use a bead link on each side to attach to brass chain and voila! Cute piece. I will post a pic anyways but when I do more of these will use a finer gauge of wire to allow for neater work on the back!
Hey Dee! This specific piece isn’t for sale because it was a quick prototype. If you’d like a very similar one, drop me an email with your necklace length and I will reply! You can get me here: http://www.tooaquarius.com/contact/
