kalliope


The necklace is made with orchid-purple 3-cuts, size 11 metallic mint green seed beads, transparent red charlottes, and a glass button. The earrings are made with the same beads and also with sterling silver wire.
Techniques for the necklace include laceleaf chain and ladder stitch; for the earrings, peyote stitch and wirework.
The necklace is 16&7/8" long and 1&1/4" wide. The earrings are freeform hoops approximately 1&1/16" long and 3/4" wide. Laceleaf chain is a Zulu beadwork technique I learned from Diane Fitzgerald's book "Zulu Beaded Chain Techniques".
