I could not wait and got the little faces painted! Started matching them up with cabs and started a little one with a silver face cabochon. I got the little swarovski crystals at the bead show this past weekend and love the irridescent sparkle they have in the light. They make a pretty necklace for the beaded baby. The face is painted in a wah of silver, gold and bronze and has such a sweet musing expression. I put a picot edging around the body and a twisted rope edge around the head for more hair like texture. I can picture a whole series of them more plainly now that I have completed one. Off to the next! Materials used include seed beads and delicas in silver lined dark amethyst, matte black and a glossy lime green and swarovski topaz crystals. Backed with soft pale grey ultra suede. The focal bead was bought at the gallery grand when it was open this past march in ellsworth. Measures approx. 2" long by 1 1/4" wide at the widest point across. Retials for $55.
