The Thief - Square Stitched Beadwork Choker

Description

"The Thief" - designed and created in 2007 after much reflection on my life is created in square stitch and accented with genuine bamboo tube beads. The necklace itself measures approximately 17" long and is finished with a sterling silver slide lock clasp. The beadwork was created with thousands of Delica seed beads in a multitude of colors.

Delica seed beads, manufactured by the Miyuki company of Japan, are known for their high quality and uniform shape, which lends a tailored look to finished beadwork created with these tiny treasures.

The design for this piece was heavily influenced by African artwork. Created in square stitch (also sometimes known as loom weaving without a loom), each bead is individually stitched together and the threads reinforced through each row to create a wonderfully flowing, yet sturdy, beaded fabric.

This piece took me so many hours to create, I actually lost track! But I can tell you that I watched "Pirates of the Caribbean" at least four times while working on it!

As you can see from the photographs, this is meant to be worn as a choker, with a little bit of give so that you don't feel like you are actually being choked. With proper care, this piece should give you years of enjoyment and may even be passed on to other family members.
