My Latest Free Form Necklace

I know it has been a while since I've posted anything and I do have a lot of pretty things to share with you. I was back in the hospital for 9 more days but WOW I got mega beading done. I felt good this time and just had to be hooked up to IV'S around the clock and it allowed me to really get many pieces completed.

This is the latest in a group of free form pieces I am doing. I am working on a beautiful turquoise and gray piece that is really shaping up nicely.

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.
