Illuminated by Candlelight Challenge - Sharayah Sheldon

 Here is one more entry for the challenge, by Sharayah Sheldon of 4uidzne.etsy.com
And her description of her work :
"Light eases the fear of darkness. People often use candles, flashlights flames for guidance through many dark and often scary places. We too can be a light in the world.

Now this piece will glimmer even in the dark with the multitude of Swarovski crystals and rhinestone chain. I planned this piece with dark, monochromatic blackness all about. Each side is bead embroidered separately with a brass plate inserted between the bead work and the Italian leather which backs the piece.

Once I completed each side, the two curved sections were aligned where I could stitch through the punched out holes & multiple layers of material.

The brilliant dichroic lamp work focal is suspended in the middle; allowing it to spin.

This STATEMENT piece needed no other embellishment, therefore It's attached to an elegant, luxurious choker that measures 16-20 "."

Sharayah is known for making very unusual bead embroidered pieces, this one is no exception to the rule, the black offsets the fiery red in a really intense way . What a clever way to use that lamp work bead too, I love how it spins in the center. Well, I don't know if there are more entries coming or not, but this was definitely a fun challenge, and it made me think about the quality of light. Particle and wave, and just wonderful....

  2. Kinga, Sharayah's pendant is gorgeous! I like how she used the firey glass bead as the flame in the darkness. The twinkling of the crystals in the black they look like stars in the night sky.
