This
set uses the some of the newest Moretti/Effetre colors: opal yellow and
transparent and opaque lavender.
The tan beads are made with a base of opaque opal yellow that has been
rolled in silver foil, which was then topped with transparent lavender.
The silver was then burned off, leaving little dots of silver "sand."
The
small tan beads measure 7mm x 11mm. The transparent lavender with
poked lavender dots are 6.5mm x 11mm, and the transparent lavender with
TL dots measure 7mm x 11mm.
The focal bead is made similarly to the small tan beads, with a swirl
of transparent lavender on top of the silver. You can see that the
combination of the opal yellow, silver and transparent lavender results
in a dark amber brown. Neat, huh? The bead from which the
focal bead suspends, is the same opal yellow base but with some white
and intense black, melted into a spider-web surface decoration.
I've included some 6mm Light Colorado Topaz Swarovski®
crystals and antique gold-finish pewter heishe spacers to finish the set.
