my soup |
El Pavo Royal |
I used some of the sari silk to make a bail and used 16g brass wire to attach it to the necklace |
I knotted the beads with regal purple waxed Irish linen |
the clasp |
finally I added brass chain and lentil beads to complete the earrings. |

Oh my! I fall in love with these. The necklace is amazing ,the peacock feather as a pendant is absolutely fantastic and the blue beads and silk peeking through the chain is a perfect choice.
ReplyDeleteThe earrings are just screaming for me..
I wanna buy these!
What a creative necklace and earring set! You followed the lines of the clay focal so beautifully when making the brass attachment piece, that initially I thought it was created with the clay! And the use of the vibrant purple waxed Irish linen? Swoon!!!!
ReplyDeleteLola, she almost had me fooled with those brass bits. Beautiful work Lois, I love that you echoed that curl of clay with the brass. It's so very exciting for me to see beads I've made come to life in someone elses hands, a first. You made it so special. Thinking of you :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful soup. You made a great set with it.
ReplyDeletewhat a luscious set, gorgeous rich texture and colours!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! The necklace is perfect with theat focal and the earring are to die for. You did marvelous job.

ReplyDeleteWonderful soup, such rich colors! Great work:)
ReplyDeleteyou did a great job with this bead soup. loved the earrings. beautiful work! ~diana
ReplyDeleteLois, you are the Bead Whisperer: you took those unique polymer clay creations Emma sent, and allowed them to speak to you. That is such a visually stunning focal, and you set it so it is almost like a totem, that feather an eye surveying the world. The sari silk bail is just the right touch of organic... all in all, a winning design!
ReplyDeleteVery, very nice!
ReplyDeleteWow - incredible - I love it all!
ReplyDeleteYou've done a marvelous job creating beautiful, original jewellery. Love the necklace, and the earrings are a perfect match!
ReplyDeleteEmma's soup to you is so yummilicious! You have done a fantastic job to so off the dramatic focal! Love it.
ReplyDeleteI love everything, every last thing, about your designs. The purple waxed linen added such an elegant touch. Love the color range from the super vibrant blue to the muted olive. Stunning!
ReplyDeleteI love everything about your soup and the pieces you made. Wow. This might just be my favorite set!
ReplyDeleteI'm stunned! Every piece is in its' place, just right and lovely!
ReplyDeleteLove love love! These pieces are stunning, Lois! I so admire use of fiber and you used it beautifully. Great earrings too.
ReplyDeleteWOW~ what a beautiful soup. I too got a peacock feather as a focal. You did a great job!
ReplyDeleteThe knotting technique you have used to string the beads really sets of the look of the focal. The chain tassel on the earrings is absolutely perfect. All in all it's a stunning set.
ReplyDeleteHi Lois,
ReplyDeleteI love both your necklace and the earrings they are gorgeous! I need to get some of the Irish waxed linen. I have seen it used in a few of the blogs in this party, it looks like it would be fun to work with.
Therese

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous. I just love what you made!
