New tube bead necklaces

My new Tube Strand necklaces and earrings are now in my online shop!

My favorite part about this design is that the wearer can chose different ways to wear the necklaces. Shift the necklace a bit around the neck or form a second loop and the joints between tubes shift and form different shapes.

Quantities will be limited with these for now as I'm building stock for Ann Arbor Art Fair next month. So what is in the shop is probably all I'll have until the end of July.

New earrings and Neckline friendly Necklace

The new Reef pieces have posted to the shop! As of now, three necklaces and one style of earrings are available. Some of the earrings have already sold but I'll be adding more within the next couple of days.

The longest necklace has a clasp designed for versatility to allow it to be worn single and long, or doubled over and short, to accommodate different necklines. That way you get more mileage, as it were, out of one piece and I'm all for that.

Due to the fact that I free form marble the clay to create the earrings, all pairs will be one of a kind and will go together but won't match exactly because...I like asymmetry. A lot. And this also means that any of the earrings will "go with" the multi-colored necklaces.

I was very fortunate to my daughter model for me this time around (although she probably should have been the one taking the photos). Thanks Ema!

I'm board

No, not bored. I mean board. I'm working on bead boards these days which I don't always do. I often just work on a bead mat but I like that I can pick the boards up and move them around when I have a lot going on on my main work table like this time of year. (I never really get bored actually. I get tired, I get cranky, but there doesn't seem to be time to get bored.)

These are some of my latest Instagram photos. I'm really liking the, well, "instantness" of it and post a lot of work in progress there. Its a great way to get feedback from peers and customers before pieces are even completed. You can follow me @gwilliamson.
