A couple of months ago, I made some larger swirly focals. They were intended for a purpose but that purpose fell through, so I’m listing them in my Etsy Shop. There are multiple focal beads I am in the process of listing there, but one of them I’m keeping for myself. I’m wearing it right now. It has a cream base, with tones of pewter and cocoa swirled in. There is gold and silver leafing, making it a great piece to wear on my change-a-bead pendant holder. I’ve got a simple base metal chain to wear it on (I’m not allergic to base metals) and I’m quite happy how this looks with my orange turtle neck sweater and my beige fleece jacket.
You can click on the images to the left and below, and get closer views of the bead.
It was one of the first ones of the batch I made, and I fell in love with the warm mellowness of it. I think it’s going to be one of my favorite pieces.
It’s PRETTY and looks great on you. I love the change-a-bead pendant holder. -Jackie
Wow, that’s beautiful. I’ve never really mastered the swirly bead…
Jack–thanks so much!! I haven’t used my change-a-bead in a long time. Now I’m excited about it all over again.
Jael– next time you come to Peoria, want to come here and make some?
