For Thelma: resin bead on embroidery silk and silver heishis

Posted by Betty on August 16, 2015 at 2:50pm

I am still experimenting with how to wear my resin bead. Yesterday I strung it son some embroidery silk (unfortunately I didn't have enough) with some tiny Ethiopian silver heishi and a larger bicone to regulate the length (max. 50cm)

Oh yes, I love this. The beautiful red brown of the resin bead against the black silk. But a most ingenious touch is the flash of tiny silver heishi in amongst the black threads. First class, Betty. Congratulations.

Very tastefully done.
