Midnight in the Forest Necklace

 Luscious fringe necklace with fluorite chips and a face cabochon that I sculpted from polymer clay. I think this lingered on my work table for about 2 months. I was very unsure about it and the only thing that saved it is the fact that I really hate frogging, so in the end I took chances and made decisions to move forward. Turned out ok. 

My biggest fan trying on the goods: 

A Necklace for Winter

 I'm always surprised how these things end up, with almost no resemblance to my original idea. Like most embroidered necklaces this has lingered on my desk for a couple of months before I was able to finish it. I estimate I spent about at least 20 hours on it. The two large cabs I made from polymer clay, the rest are glass, ceramic and crystal, the large beads are Czech pressed glass and Swarovski pearls.

My first bead embroidery project

 My first bead embroidery necklace completed about two years ago. The central cab I made from polymer clay - it was supposed to be faux fossil coral - I'm not too versed in polymer clay. I used many 15/0 and regretted it while working, because my embroidery needle did not fit through most of the beads and it took a looong time to bead, but it does look good. The most difficult thing turned out to be the backing, because I didn't choose the right material and I did my edging stitches too close to the edges. It seems quite fragile to me, so I keep it just to look at.

Another bead embroidery necklace that I made a year ago, this was my third or fourth piece in bead embroidery, and the first one that turned out the way I intended, having had a hard time with aligning the backing properly while sewing the edging.
