The UK’s Susan Rimmer led me off track as I was searching for more inscribed beads to show you. Susan has an intriguing way of quickly making a tried and true technique her own.
These pendants covered with extruded polymer strings look like modern sea urchins and demonstrate how she tweaks our expectations. Her site is full of similar twists and turns.
I found Susan from Carol Simmons’ Finding Inspiration post. Carol’s Flickr favorites are a gold mine for color lovers.

Hey! Susan. Great to see you featured here. Your lovely doughnut/donut (spelling ?) pendants look like you’ve used threads to decorate. Do bring them to show off at our London clay day on May 29th. It’ll be our 4th birthday celebration so it’s partytime with cake! Yay!

The sea urchin like pieces are beautiful. The simple analogous colors are subtle yet graphic at the same time.

The “sea urchins” are so unique and special! Enjoyed exploring Susan’s sites and especially love her “Nikki’s Necklace”. (LUCKY Nikki!)
Thanks for link to the Carol Simmons Flickr inspiration site. Surely inspirational.

Superb! We call Susan’s technique The Rimmer Wrap. These look so effective and Susan has a knack of making them very neat. Congratulations Susan!
