Having had a bit of winter sunshine in Tenerife, my
imagination was full of exotic colours. On the plane on the way home
I was mentally planning the piece I would make once all the Christmas mayhem
was over and done with. So when the last bauble had gone back into the loft I
headed to my bead collection to hunt out a sizzling cocktail of brightly
coloured bijouterie. But the beads had other ideas. In amongst the exotic were soft pink pansies, muted silvery pearls and softly lustred drops. They
remided me of the doodle I had done in an odd corner of my sketchbook just a
few days before we flew to Tenerife.
It was no good, I
knew the idea wouldn’t let me alone until it was made real. So I gave in and
this romantic wire wrapped filigree piece is the result.
No doubt I will be
planning a soft pink piece at some stage and the lime green and orange beads
will scupper my plans. Beads are clever like that!
