Seriously Addicted - Thank you Miss Perri

I have been seriously addicted to Perri's (Shaktipaj) wickedly wonderful wired beads for a long time - Come to find out addiction has been re-defined with Perri's newest tutorial Doric Column Beads.

I got the tutorial as soon as it was listed on Etsy, and ended up being up ALL night - I just couldn't stop. I spent several hours feverishly going through my bead stash, and there is probably another 10 combos laid out on my bench.

The silver and faceted amethyst was the first, and I need to work on my oxidizing skills since that's a fairly new avenue for me - I'm a gold girl, but am drifting to the dark side .

My favorite (so far) is the 3rd one (1st photo) that I did. The pictures don't show it very well but I used one of the newest Swarovski colors, 4mm Fire Opal and 2mm Crystal AB - the bead is barely 1/2 inch long.

The last one I did is in mixed metals and Labradorite drops. I need to work on that idea some more since it didn't turn out exactly as it was in my head. I was aiming for a 'sea-anemone' look, and though I like it, and its close, its not quite there yet.



Thank you thank you Miss Perri!!!!!
