Autumn Harvest Free Form Necklace


I know it has been quite sometime since I posted anything new, please forgive me. I have been busy beading away but I have also been dealing with some medical issues. I have several leg problems one of which is Lympadema. It has been acting up like never before. It causes severe swelling, then I get blisters, they in turn rupture and me legs weep. The key to dealing with it is to keep the swelling down. For the past 4 or 5 months I can't seem to get it under control. Any way that is why I haven't been on here. I am still able to bead and I have still continued to teach classes occasionally but that is about all I am able to do. I have to try to keep my legs elevated as much as possible.

Any way here is a free form necklace I completed several weeks ago. I have never been very good with free form but I loved the carnelian leaf and wanted to try my hand once again at free form peyote. I am very pleased with the results. So much so that I am going to try my hand at teaching the way I made this piece.

  1. That's gorgeous, Darla! I haven't done anything freeform in a while - this is going to inspire me to do one! ~ Terran
