I love the look of mixed media jewelry designs that combine earthy natural elements with more refined components. Something about the contrast between the rustic and refined is such a unique look!
I created these new glass bead pendants with hand made natural brass bead caps, pairing them with a natural brass ball chain necklace for that ‘industrial’ feel.
This is something I’ve been working on for a while now – after much experimentation I have successfully combined my love for graphic arts/photography with my love of lampwork bead-making.
By bringing these elements together I’ve created a unique line of jewelry…something I never thought I would actually get into doing. But now that I’m in, I have to admit it’s quite fun and I’m very pleased with the results.
There’s something about seeing my lampwork glass beads go beyond the ‘loose and lonely’ stage into a completed, wearable piece of art. It is very satisfying!
The pendants below are available now in my Etsy store: http://www.etsy.com/shop/CCGlassArt
