This necklace is my second design attempt with my little polymer clay flower beads.

The bourgandy flower petals and green leaves I free motioned stitched in a quilt sandwich and then cut out with my very sharp little scissors. The material under the flower beads is organza which I hope will fray a bit more and look softer. The pink beads are little frosted lucite flowers from-
A great place to visit if you are a Beadaholic!
I have been looking for ways to mix my art quilting with my jewelry. It is fun to create off the wall "Project Runway" type items. I don't know who will ever wear them but they end up not just jewelry but ART.
Hi Heather, I'm your new swap partner. I've just spent a few minutes checking out your blog and now I know I have to be one of the luckiest swap members -- WOW! Love your beads and your designs. I'm especially taken by your Alamo beads (especially in their original incarnation) I love carved limestone! In my mother's family, there were several relatives that fought for Texas' independence, yep, I could be a "Daughter of the Republic of Texas" Okay, let the fun begin!
