My Collections Series pieces are born of my love not just of jewelry, but of the beads themselves. It's a beads, for beads sake thing.
Out of this love came the idea to create miniature collections for others.
The beach inspired collection of Siren includes:
Assorted bits of pretty horn and glass
Raku button by MAKUstudios (signed on the back by Mak-- she does the richest, most brilliant colorations of any raku artist I've ever seen)
Three heavily textured silvered ivory beads by Paul at firedancebeads that look like bones from the sea
Labradorite-- a grey feldspar known for iridescence
Wire wrapped driftwood
Red horn ring
Serpentine, a khaki colored stone handcarved in an Oriental pattern
Polymer clay bird skull by Dee of Malodora-- love the realism!
Gold coral
Antler tip-- naturally shed
Fossilized megalodon shark tooth
Green garnet
African brass wound bead
Ceramic frame from LisaPetersArt-- Lisa does awesome shapes and textures to die for
Stoneware bead with an irregular, mottled surfacein blue, sage and brown by Jubilee. These were some of the most wonderful beads I ever bought-- and this is the last one.
Citrine rough. I loved the way the clear yellow blends with the snowy quartz.
Petosky honeycomb fossil, from Lake Michigan shores- their name means "rising sun"
Sterling Silver imame from Egypt. It's the terminus for a strand of prayer beads
Faceted bone-- fabulous color and texture, like fossilised ivory
Twilight lily bead from HumbleBeads. The pale blue of dusk covers the lily white beads that are then antiqued with a rich chocolate brown. Heather's textures are amazing.
Kyanite-- it was love at first sight for me that this collector's mineral
Satin finished borosilicate lampwork bead in earthtones by twosisters4
The Siren collection is wired to a 37 inch (94 cm) length of sterling silver flat cable chain with lengths of 20 and 18ga sterling silver wire. I created a lovely 's' clasp to close it.
It's easily worn at 24 inches (61cm), 37 inches (94cm), or anywhere in between. I added a dangle to the final link for a very finished and versatile piece.
It can even be worn as a belly chain-- it's that long! And if you're totally and completely fearless you can wrap it as a very chunky bracelet!
This is, of course, a one of a kind collection. It will be sent Priority Mail, Insured.
