Handmade Designer Necklace -Bead Weaving by Alyce

Alyce was working on this gorgeous necklace at our last "bead and feed" meeting and I thought you would like to see a work in progress. She weaves tiny glass seed beads into  flowers and leaves and then attaches them to make this beautiful bouquet. It is a labor of love as it takes hours to make.
We have a wonderful beading/ art group that meets weekly during the summer.  Many of us are artists and necklace designers. Our work is different and we support and critique each other.  No lying is allowed! If you ask for comments you get them , like it or not.

Bead weaving - Handmade Designer Necklace

Every once in awhile a necklace takes on another dimension. To me, this handmade designer necklace looks like the motion of an iridescent stream of water. The body of this necklace is woven from tiny glass seed beads. A strand of iridescent Swarovski Crystal is  threaded through the the woven openings. It takes patience, perseverance and time to weave a fine necklace

My friend Alyce is the creator of this masterpiece. Her hands are so capable, whether she is weaving a necklace or making  baklava.

Bead Weaving

My friend Harriet is weaving beads to make this amazing necklace for her friend Alyce. It is a true labor of love because it has taken her hours and hours of combining and weaving the beads together into a necklace. This is what she has finished so far. Alyce has a golden completion and Harriet considered this when she chose the beads for this necklace. The ivory and gold tones beads balance the roses and whites to help the necklace blend with Alyce's coloring .

Harriet and Alyce are part of our Bead and Feed group . We help, admire, and inspire each other in our art and beading. We also eat very well and talk a lot . Everyone brings something for lunch. Good for the mind and soul.
