Trying to come up with a way to display this wonderful handmade ceramic donut by Kristie Roeder of Artisan Clay (http://www.artisanclay.etsy.com) was definitely a challenge. But what I found worked best was a simple peyote stitched bail and an elegant twisted herringbone rope with a decorative brass toggle clasp.

Made from the Earth itself, this handmade ceramic donut has been fired using a special technique to a perfect velvety-soft finish with a unique pattern and colors of brown, dark grey and tan. The piece itself is extremely lightweight, yet hangs gracefully on the hand-stitched beaded rope. The donut measures approximately 1 1/2 inches in diameter, and the beaded rope is 19 inches long, including the brass toggle clasp.

All of my work is handmade, stitched one bead at a time with care and precision.

I would love to make a piece of wearable beaded art just for you - contact me for details and pricing.

I had admired these handmade ceramic donuts by Kristie Roeder in my stash for many months before I finally figured out a beautiful, simple and elegant way to turn them into wearable art. The addition of a simple but secure peyote stitched bail and an elegant twisted herringbone beaded rope were the perfect combination for these unique pieces.
