Finished my first free from piece - not an ad

Apr 13, 2004 29 Replies

At last. And it's not an ad because I'm buggered if I'm selling this piece after all the work I put in!! I ripped it out 5 times after getting a third of the way through (yep, count 'em, five!) I finally arrived at a colour balance, rhythm of form and texture that I'm fairly happy with, given this is my first attempt. I like the process, it's a lot like drawing.

What do you think? I'm looking to develop here so all comments welcome. I seem to be beadfull tonight, this is my third bead saturated posting!


Wow! I know nothing about seed bead work, but I love it! You did a great job!

I couldn't be more jealous...your free-form is wonderful! I do seed bead work to, and now I am SO inspired! Thanks!

Oh! A woman after my own heart. I bead and rip often, it's a great way to learn even though it can get frustrating at times (probably around the 4th or 5th, IMO).

It's a beautiful bracelet. I'm sure you'll enjoy wearing it.

If I may make a suggestion for next time? You might want to add a couple more colors of different values. JMHO

Yes, I agree, Roxan. There are a few negative spaces, but they're tentative. I didn't think of using focals and I have some beauties in my collection. I shall use them next time. (yes there will be a next time!)

Can you give me an example of what you mean Cheri? I really appreciate the feedback!

Thanks everyone, your encouragement is very, encouraging!
