Technique Tuesday!

After complete Andromeda’s Pearls, I reflection that it might be a good form to share a in fact basic tutorial on bead variegated needle-work, a project that can be completed in a few days (or even perhaps one long day). Cash Chest is the name of this scrap. :-)

More and more often, modern jewels is being influenced by techniques from other mingled media art forms. That is how Cash Chest came to be: although I originally bought a set of watchfulness-maker’s tins to use in some cluster work and altered books, it occurred to me that a tin would also be a finished little nook on a pin or pendant. Right the right greatness to hold a beloved token, the glass-topped tin can be sealed to bring into being it permanent, or left unfasten to allow for an ever-changing spread!
