Thank you Miriam of Cielo Designs


I greatly admire Miriam of Cielo Designs. She is a very talented bead artist, I mean that in the truest sense of the word "Artist". I am so grateful to her for sending me the directions for her "square Neck chain". I had admired it for sometime so I emailed her and she was so kind as to share it with me. Here is my rendition of it. The rosette I found in an old beadwork magazine and I wanted to use russian leaves but I also wanted to incorporate more peach flowers so I thought why not put them at the tips of the leaves. I am a "green" girl by nature and usually use alot of green in my designs. I loved the sage green that I used in this piece and was happy that I could find it in all bead types and sizes. "So A BIG THANK YOU to Miriam of Cielo Designs....check out her etsy store.

  1. So pretty! I love the choice of the Russian leaves to offset the roses - the open centers and hte way you attached it to the chain really keep it light and airy and feminine.
