| "TRILLIUM" NECKLACE I found this interesting pendant at Seattle's Pike Place Market. Somewhere I have information about the artist and will include it here when I locate it. For this particular pendant, the artist pressed flower petals and ferns then arranged them between to small pieces of faceted glass, enclosing it all with metal. To me the resulting flower looks like a trillium. This was a simple bead stringing project using beads from my Beads of Mystery stash; some are glass, others are metal or metallic glass. The black and olive green cylinders are ceramic. The wooden beads are sandalwood and, when newly- purchased, actually had a lovely fragrance which is gone now. The two beads near the pendant are Czech pressed-glass tulips from the Salem, Oregon Craft Warehouse. |
