Description
(2017), 10.5" for the necklace, including pendant, 7"x1" for the bracelet; silver-lined transparent light grey, blue-lined beige and matte gunmetal Size 15 seed beads worked in flat and tubular stacked brick stitch, blue chalcedony closure beads, art glass object, fireline.

I bought the pendant for this necklace from an Etsy artist who creates these amazing objects to be worn as large gauge earrings. With long hair I'm not much of an earring wearer outside of small studs that won't get tangled up, but her creations are still stunning enough that I wanted to show them off.

This is one half of a matched pair made from a mix of smoky grey and light teal glass. The teal part of the object is also matted making for a lovely mix of color and texture. I matched her vision with a mix of glossy and matte beads of my own reflecting her color choices and used the flowing organic feel of stacked brick stitch to complement her work. I then decided I wanted to have a bracelet to go along with the necklace and repeated the sequence of beads I had used in the tubular strands of the necklace in a flat strip of beads that are fastened with a simple bead-and-loop closure.

Now I have to figure out what to do with the other earring!
