Theater night or BDSM?
I have no idea. I guess the answer to that question will be up to whoever will wear this. I think if I am lucky enough to have it long enough, I might wear this with the clutch to the wedding party.While messing around with the clutch, I stumbled upon an interesting way to visually showcase pearls, by surrounding them with seed beads in a way that resembles.... many things. (Dragon scales, pebbles, stepping stones, zen gardens, whatnot.) After having watched some bike races with Paul, who got truly excited about the 2011 Paris- Roubaix, and made me watch the whole thing, by the end I was convinced that the pattern indeed is cobble stones.
I was tempted to name this piece Hell of the North ( the pet name of Paris-Roubaix) , but that would be lost on most people except for the fans of road bike racing. And let's face it:most of them don't wear chokers, even if they shave their legs.
So it is called the Pave choker.
As a matter of fact, this series is called the pave series. There will be more.
I can't get enough of the textures. And we all know that I am a sucker for textures.
Here is my lovely young coworker Robin modeling the Pave Choker. Boy, that sounds a lot better then Hell of the North, doesn't it?
Oohhh... this is really beautiful. I'm not much of a choker kinda girl, but this is lovely. I love your cobble stone style and the way you've set off the gorgeous pearl stones with the seed bead *grout.* ;)
ReplyDeleteYour model is adorable. She looks like she really enjoys wearing your work. :)
You know, I never had a choker. Now I see why. My neck is short! Robin here has a beautiful slender neck. She rocks this piece, and she knows it too. It also looks really good on Sammy. Oh-oh. I feel doggie pics coming.
ReplyDeleteActually the texture looks quite a bit like a quilting technique called "Trapunto" where parts are stuffed full of batting and the background is very heavily quilted with random stitches. Nice effect to fill that area without crowding.
