Our Lady of Storms, beadwork brooch pin

Description

'Our Lady of Storms'
beaded booch

1st in series

This piece is a ceramic face cab that has been lightly washed with pale blue paint to give it a slight otherworld tint, and then sealed. It was then carefully peyote stitch beaded around and some netweave stitching was done for her 'crown'.

She has a handmade lampwork bead by fellow Etsy seller, WhiteRavenCreations, of silvered ivory, and cobalt, with Bali Silver end caps.

The seed beads are a mix of cobalt blue, iridescent purple, gunmetal, and sterling silver, with sterling Druks and cobalt drop/fringe beads.

The back has been covered with genuine black suede, with the pin back underneath for durability.

Our Lady of Storms is just over 2 inches across, including beading, and just under 4.5 inches long. She is sure to garner attention where ever you wear her.

Thios piece is truly One of a Kind. There will never be another like her.

Our Lady of Storms was created for the Etsy BeadWeavers Street Team Monthly Challenge, March 2008, 'Stormy Weather'.
