A tassel of beads topped by a ceramic bird bead I made with dangles featuring Elaine Ray beads and gimp.
It’s hanging off that brass neck wire I love to use and reuse.

I’ve layered a layered necklace! Main necklace contains an owl pendant by Jon Pitts, ceramic rounds by Elaine Ray and Japanese kimono cording. Extras for layering are African trade glass (orange) and Indian hand-looped beaded chains.
Sometimes you just have to mix it up.

Some days I can’t take a good picture.
At least I like the necklace.
Waxed linen stitches together Elaine Ray beads and a bit of glass. Find complete instructions here.

This necklace features a pendant by Olivia Dowdy. The raku-fired ceramic is lightweight and shimmery. I really love the glow of that poppy red. I’ve hung it from a naked brass chain that will age naturally, and added a Swarovski crystal coral branch.
A side note: my camera lens was broken and posting was difficult for a while. I fixed that in December but still hadn’t resumed posting. Today, after a few words of encouragement, I realized I just needed to get back to the routine.
Thanks, Ellie.

Too simple-round wood beads with a pierced Elaine Ray ceramic bead and a fossilized ammonite pendant.
