A while back I started a batch of fine silver PMC beads to pair with green raku beads made by Keith O’Connor that I picked up at the Beadin’ Path in Freeport in January.
My PMC beads, fired and tumbled…
liver of sulphur patina added…
final polish after patina…
I alternated the silver and raku beads in a symmetrical necklace, about 18″ long.
I had only three of Keith’s beads remaining, which made me stretch to come up with a way to use them. I didn’t want to make earrings and end up with a solo bead that had no place to go. So I looked for beads to combine to make an asymmetrical necklace. I think I ended up with an interesting combination. This kind of necklace takes me much longer to make, but I always have a blast doing it.
