A couple of weeks ago I received some dichroic cabochons from the lovely Kandra Norsigian - Kandra's Beads - which completely blew me away. I don't usually do a lot of colour in my designs, but if I was going to do anything with these I would have to do a rethink! After days looking into the myriad colours of the largest cab, and getting out nearly every bead I possessed, I settled on the green/gold/fire opal combination - hope you agree.........................
Nina has always wanted me to make something 'adaptable', so this is a bracelet which can be detached to use the main cab as a pendant, and a necklace which can be used either with the cab at the front, or the double loop & toggle at the front. There will be a stickpin brooch to match when the glue dries! That's it, finished. I am now really going to get some instructions written for my June workshops....................really.

Hi Peter,
ReplyDeleteYou made those cabs sing! Your idea about 3 in one is brilliant!
Thank you! I was getting a bit stale, so I had to go for something out of the ordinary, and Kandra's cabs stirred me into action! I still have a couple left...........mwahahaha!
