Finally, the promised photos!

It's been really hectic the past two weeks trying to catch up with the family (the children are having school holidays till tomorrow), help the hubby with some of his work, getting in our family's healthcare appointments, exercise classes and some baking orders.  Quite challenging to work in my jewelry studio and having to keep up with the rest of the schedules!  I've also moved my 18 feet of tables to another corner of the living room (where I now take up one quarter!) and get all my equipment and beads together in one place.  My hubby's side of the room (the other quarter...) is still in a mess but that is one problem he has to clear himself.

Anyways, I'm here now and managed to take some photos for you.

This is the biggest bead embroidery neckpiece I've done by far.  I'm naming her "Jesus Loves the Little Children."  Made with turquoise, howlite and coral beads.  Will really make a statement and start a conversation going!

Another view of "Jesus Loves the Little Children."  Some folks are asking how much I sell these neckpieces.  Well, it's OOAK (one-of-a-kind), specially thought through and designed, walking for days through supply shops to look for the "perfect" beads, then painstakingly made sewing on one bead at a time.  Some of these neckpieces take up to 100 hours to make.  My neckpieces so far are selling between S$180-600 depending on the size, materials used and time taken to make them.  I don't do repeats at all so you can be assured you'll be the only one wearing it.

This is a new lariat design I made which can be worn in three different ways.  This is the first way, with the loops coming out from under the geometric centrepiece.

The second way is to wear it with the loops going down into the geometric piece.

And finally, it can be worn like a scarf.

This is the same lariat made in black and red.  Of course this can be made in any colour you desire and with any gemstones or beads for the coralling part.  Custom orders for this lariat are welcome.

If you'd like to order your jewelry in time for Christmas, I suggest you start planning ahead!  I'm working on quite a few projects now and will probably close order taking after September.
