Gracing our website cover is my latest project, named Brassy Turquoise Ring. The technique isn't anything fanciful, just the good old Bead Embroidery. Initially, I had intended to make it into a pendant but was too lazy to stitch the accompaying necklace rope, thus turned it into a ring instead.I stick to only 3 seed bead colours in this project, i.e. Metallic Gold, Chocolate Brown and the new "Heavy Metal" Brass seed beads. I wanted to try the "heavy metal" seed beads and while I like the finish, I find them quite challenging to work with on certain projects because of their big bead hole and curvature. The cabochon is a fused glass in size 1.5" by 1".
I have just ordered some new glass colours and looking forward to create more fused glass rings!
