Yummy colours, fruit of the vine … I love the green, copper and deep purple. My fruit of the vine project is less ornate than yours, and uses a lime green chiffon ribbon instead of the chain you’ve used – I really like the chain!

A really interesting mix of colours and shapes, beautiful work.

Beautiful … so simple, yet it says summer and the beach.

I wish I could tell you more about the pendant, but I think I bought it years ago when I loved beads but hadn’t started beading seriously. As a result I didn’t note down what the stone was. I’ve had a look around the gemstone beads on the Limabeads website, and wonder if it might be [...]

I love the combination of gold and blue. This looks both modern and ancient – like it could have come from ancient Egypt. I had a similar idea when I worked with brass washers and chain on a previous project.

Beads, metal and silk sari ribbon – a great mix. I love the copper rings and the bronze pendant, plus the orangey ribbon. The lime green beads give it an exta zing. I love it!

Really beautiful and very feminine. Purple and copper are the perfect combination.

Sophisticated and stylish, black and silver are such a good combination.

Beautiful colours and design, I love the green and copper. And of course, I’m intrigued that the stone is called Kiwi Jasper – being a Kiwi (New Zealander). I’ve never heard of this before but have now read up a bit on it.

I absolutely adore this design – I love silver and blue to start with. The bell flower and leaves are gorgeous too. I can almost hear the chirping – all the way from New Zealand!

Thanks for your lovely comments. I couldn’t explain it better than ‘organized eclectic’! Sometimes it’s nice to let loose and not be too tied to a colour theme or plan.

Hi, an answer for Retro By Design … thanks for your comment. I used the hemp through all the beads on both sides, running it through two jump rings doubling it back and at the ends and wire wrapping it to secure it.

Here’s another photo of the necklace.

A fabulous design and the perfect materials, this looks modern, and yet like it could have been excavated from an ancient Egyptian tomb.
