Description
Dryad’s Sanctuary is an OOAK necklace. For this piece I wanted to capture the feeling of twilight in the forest. Another major element of this necklace was to challenge myself to go out of my comfort zone with bead stitches that I do not use on a regular basis, so as to create a more dynamic piece of art.
Materials:
This piece incorporates a beautiful hand crafted cabochon that was made by ~Sleetwealth. Other major elements include; seed beads of varying sizes, round gemstone garnets, dyed pearls, Czech fire polished glass beads, sterling silver bead cones, and sterling silver bead clasp.
Techniques:
The beading techniques used in this piece include; bead embroidery, tubular peyote stitch, flat peyote stitch, stringing and two fringe stitches. The piece has been embroidered onto starch felt, which is then backed by an imitation leather cloth.
This necklace is being entered into ~Bright-Circle’s Cabochon contest! The entries can be seen here and there are many beautiful pieces to see. [link]
Other Views…I included several views of the pendant close up because there is a great deal of texture that I wished to show in the photos.

Technique ImpactThe thing that strikes me the most about this piece is its cohesion. It's easy to let the organic beaded backstitch technique run amok, letting 'freeform' take the place of any kind of direction, but you've harnessed the power of freeform while keeping a sense of direction in the piece.
The garnet beads run a nice subtle line through, directing the eye through the rest of the piece even though the focal is offset. And the amber beads echo the rich colour of the focal cab. You've got hints of rich forest green, and the violet is an unexpected touch, but one that works perfectly to evoke the mood you're going for.
I think the piece would be a little better served with a bail that's all one color.
The choice of bead finishes is well-done--you've got pearly, silvery, transparent, matte; a nice mix of finishes so the eye doesn't get bored with too much of one.
