and here

i really like making these cluster pieces, wrapping the faceted beads in sterling silver wire and trying out different heights of beads to get just the right amount of clusteriness. have also been making cluster necklaces in different shades so will get them posted up in the shop soon (see my orange pips necklace made with little carnelian briolettes in the meantime).
