I ordered this bead from
Cheeky Cherub Designs last week, and when it came yesterday I was overjoyed. The photo really doesn't do it justice, it is so beautiful. Now I have to think about how I am going to make a necklace with it - I am thinking on natural thread with a few shells maybe. It's been such a long time since I made jewellery, I feel a little rusty.
I'm finally happy with the swan painting - I gave the water a fairly thick covering of white Inktense pigment whcih calmed the patterning on the water considerably. It can be purchased on my Etsy shop now.
Cute, cute bead. :-) I'd use just a few cream and grey pearls with it to let it stand on its own. :-) Shame she's on holiday, I wanted to check out what other beads she has.... LOL
ReplyDeleteThe swan looks perfect now. You'd expect him/her to fly off the page. :-)
Arrggh. Blooming comment validation. You'll probably have 10 comments by the time it tells me that I've been successful. :-(
ReplyDeleteThe bead is ever so cute. I'd just use a few grey and cream pearls (or pearlescent beads) with it, to let it stand on its own. :-)

The swan turned out beautiful, and I love the shadow image too! : )
