My middle daughter went to a dance with a Star Wars Theme so you could dress up or go casual she choose casual. She asked for a hair comb with any of these colors in it : red, black, silver, and or gold. I choose the first three colors to make her item. She has been working hard on her school work and I thought even though she did not go to her school dance she should still have something nice for the night. Plus she was ill and I wanted to bring a smile to her face.
As of late when I do projects I like to use up all of a supply if I can I figure it is better they are used and in an item than sitting in my bead box doing nothing. Several items got used up on this project.
First I mixed up three shades of red bugle beads to use for leaves for the background of the comb. Nothing too fancy but these beads actually cast a real pretty sparkle.
I also used some Swarovski crystals in this on three metal finding rods. With silver beads between.
As you can see the wire build up pretty fast so for the main section I wanted to have it not be flower heavy but have something.
So I used some silvher beads for petals and white jasper for the center of the flowers and I use some Milli-Flori glass beads to go around the center of the jasper bead.
Once again the back of the piece for those who like that type of thing.
