If intentions were blog posts, you would hear from me often, but today I am making good and turning my thoughts into typed words.
I have been having fun in my studio playing around with my Fiberpunk Beads and I've started to make sets of them for other jewelry makers to explore. I am hoping they will find their people and be used in new and inventive ways.
I'm starting out by creating sets in solid colors. Each one contains a large pendant, a tube, 6 spacers and three extenders. I hope I have chosen components that will be assets to any design, but once I have a good variety of these kits, I'll branch out.
I love the texture fiber adds to jewelry and the way it contrasts the hardness of metal. The beads I'm making are a combination of tatting and crochet and I'm trying to create designs that are out of the ordinary. When you look at these beads do you see earrings or a pendant necklace? Maybe you see a multi-strand bracelet or embellishments that can be sewn on like appliqués. Most of all, I hope you see possibilities!
