Another Step

Tonight I finished wiring the beads to the armature (in the midst of getting ready for the year's first show). I added another large turquoise chunk from my stash since it was just the right size and shape. I added some faceted amethyst in a couple other places. Additionally, I placed some smaller, intensely hued turquoise beads in the top part of the armature. I feel that I have achieved a nice balance of positive and negative space, for where I am at in the proceedings. This pendant does not have the obvious places for weaving that some of my other ones have had. I am going to have to proceed carefully to preserve and enhance the balance that I feel exists in the piece.
