Beading Back Before Time - Early Human

Last time it was all about fossils for me - this time it is all about dinosaurs!
Cave men and women did not have to fear my friendly dino....

 

When I was in Tucson this year, my booth neighbor, Michelle Davis from

Tangible Light Studio, made the cutest lamp work dinosaurs.  There

was my inspiration for the second installment of the Beading Back Before Time

design challenges!  And in green, too....(one of my favorite colors)

I made two 12mm hand rolled ceramic beads and glazed them lime green to accent the

dinosaurs spots.  I used cats eye beads, crystals, silver spacer balls, waxed linen, silk,

closed rings and a lobster claw clasp.  Since the dinosaur bead hole was vertical, I made

a tassel under him with 3 strands of waxed linen.  What a fun necklace!

 

Here is a close up shot of the dinosaur.  He is even smiling!  If you'd like to see more
