Midnight at the Oasis - a mixed media bead embroidered necklace

Midnight at the Oasis  "It's midnight at the oasis, send your camel to bed," sang the incomparable Maria Muldaur. My friends and I used to howl with laughter as we sang along! Now I find myself nostalgic for the song if you can believe it.  This bead embroidery necklace uses complicated clusters of graduated stacks of seed beads to create the texture. The photograph just doesn't show how dimensional it is. If you'd like to see all my process shots, there's a three-part post on my blog that starts at the link.  Copyright 2020 Cyndi Lavin.

Phoebe - a mixed media bead embroidered necklace

Phoebe Hello friends! I haven't had time to work on new pieces since I'm still running a food pantry and hot meals program during the Time of Covid. So I thought I'd take a bit of a trip down memory lane and share some of my older pieces again. I hope you don't mind. This one is called Phoebe . She is named for Saturn's ice moon, which was in turn named for a Titan of Greek mythology.   Copyright 2021 Cyndi Lavin. All rights reserved.
