This month's featured design is a seven inch copper wire cross
embellished with a mèlange of beads.  
Usually my designs work off of the focal stone, however this
cross was inspired by the five cloisonnè  beads scattered
throughout the design.   Working with several shapes and
textures, gives this cross a unique dimension.  
Rudraksha beads were used for the organic texture and carved
bone beads in dark espresso gives it a rich depth of color. Using
the deep rusty reds of clay soil, the cool turquoise hues of
summer skies and the warm sandy shades of the picture jasper
beads, this cross reminds me of the colors I have seen during
my trips to the panhandle of Texas.
You can almost smell the scent of spring grasses when looking
at the olive jade stones.  To wrap up this wonderful picture of
nature I added the sweet little hammered copper heart .  And to
think, all of that color in one little bead.....just goes to show you
that beauty is really in the eye of the beholder!
Believe it or not, this cross is up for grabs.....I finally got one in
the shop before it sold.

Custom Orders are Welcome
The Beaded Cross, shown right,  was
designed and created for a baby's
nursery.  
Specific colors of the nursery and
added details, like the baby's name
were given when  the order was
placed.  Although these details are not
necessary, they are helpful when
designing  your cross.  Color schemes,
fabric swatches, magazine photos or a
 vignette, enable me to visualize your
specific cross design.  After a few
general questions, I can get what I
need in order to begin designing and
gathering the materials needed.  To
complete the cross shown, a delicate
organza ribbon,  baby pearls and
sterling letter cubes, create a baby's
first cross.  An heirloom to be passed
on.
