I have a new
fetish love for seed beads. Shiny little black, crystal clear, gold and silver ones to be exact. I've had several pieces made but (since the late Spring hit us) the garden HAD to go in later than planned. It's all in, flowers and veggies, which is great, but, again, I'm behind on showing off the pretties.
Here's the garden... We had to rip up all the sod underneath where the mulch was and then add black fabric and two scoops of mulch. I did most of it myself... and I really need to do more squats evidently because my body hurt mucho badly after. :) I don't have a good photo of the back veggie garden, but it got the same treatment but is 15 x 60 feet or so. Needless to say, we've been busy.
Here are a few of my favorite new pieces.... The earrings came to me one night as I was working and I could barely contain myself. I just HAD to create them and they turned out perfect. The necklace is a little less dramatic than the leaf ones I've created but the pendant is my favorite.
I really love wire-wrapping and the versatility it gives me in the design. I hope you enjoy.
A day late, but Happy Fourth of July!
