Picarello’s magic

There’s something alluring about the graduated color of the side beads which are interspersed with silver discs on this polymer clay necklace from California’s Julie Picarello. It’s part of her winged design series that gives a sense of movement and motion.

Julie has also posted pictures of her Bead Dreams entry (a winner in my book) and some new primitive, asymmetrical designs.

Julie’s technique is another lovely variation on the magic/mokume bead that’s been gaining popularity (see yesterday’s post). Have a magic weekend.

              I sat next to Julie at Sandy Camp and when I missed her demo she did a one on one with me AND finished off the stack by making them into earrings for me! Love her colors. Love her work.

                Hey, Julie! Beautiful work as usual! I am already registered for your class that you will be teaching at the Fall Foliage Clay Fest in Wisconsin in September! Can’t wait! My sisters are still raving about your class. See you soon!
