Crystal Canary says:Wonderful! Living in the SW, we have some beautiful sun rises, and just before the sun breaks, the small areas of peachy glow start to pop through. You have captured the essence & feeling of that time perfectly. Your representation of the sun with the fringe dangles is really special. Fantastic creative vision here Beady!

dolllady aka Pam says:Beady, this is the best representative of the sunrises I viewed almost daily on my 15 mile drive to teach for 25 years. That is the part I miss the most, next to my students.

sweetjane says:What a joyful and happy necklace this is!! Absolutely one of my favorites of yours. It really does look like a beautiful sunrise. You have done it again!

Beady Little Eyes says:Thank you all so much for your wonderful comments. This is mostly Peyote stitch. I usually use Peyote for geometric work so just picking up odd beads was fun.

K Ralston says:This is so festive. You have captured a sunrise with beadwork. It’s amazing. Great peyote free form, which is the sign of a true beading talent in my opinion. That’s because I can’t do it, LOL. It’s really hard and takes some kind of vision and attention that I just don’t have but can appreciate when I see it. It’s a true piece of art.
