Timeless Neckpiece for the Etsy Beadweavers April Challenge

Description

When you've traveled through time for as long as I have, you begin to recognize the timelessness of beauty no matter its definition. There is no one who is not, in some way, affected by the sparkle of reflecting light, the shimmer of ireidescence, the mystery of interplaying colors, contrasts and textures.

In "Timeless," the astute observer recognizes the influences of Art Nouveau, Art Deco, Steampunk, and SciFi as well as this Time Traveling Artist's own experiiimentation with nuances of black and iridescence, dark and light, tight and open weaves, and the nature of two dimensional curvature in three dimensional space (plus one dimension of time).

Mathematically and aesthetically balanced curces and spaces fall naturally into place for an adronment that is regal, empowering, a joy to wear and behold. A time traveller itself, this neckpiece will become your heirloom for the distant future.

The band is woven of vintage Bohemian Glass beads shaped as tubes cut on the diagonal in a curving variation of brick stitch. The colors are black and iridescent black. The horizontally worked netting is composed of black seed beads with aurora borialis and iridescent finished firepolished Czech faceted beads in two sizes. The four center beads that dangle freely are also Czech firepolished faceted iridescent beads. The contrast that absolutely makes this piece, however, are the bright pink AB Swarovski faceted pillow beads.

The length is adjustible to fit neck circumferences of 12 to 14.5 inches (30.5 to 37 centimeters) comfortably.

As with all my finished works, this timeless treasure comes wrapped in tissue and tucked in a silver satin gift bag.
