Description Here's the updated reflections piece..
My customer asked to have the chain removed and I added in some more looping/cascading beads.

what do you think of the new version?

I love the way the focal area is a lighter color than the rest. It really "pops."

Your works are gorgeous! I've only done a little bit of beading before, how long did this take you?

I like both versions. This look "softer", must be the absence of the chain.

T.T I liked the chain.

It still looks good though. You changed it nicely.

I just -really- liked it the other way.

Jainatina In reply to Jainatina [2007-01-25 15:24:10 +0000 UTC]

You should. ^^

I should have commission you for one with dark reds and chain to go with my dance dress. *sigh* It's way to late to get one by Feb 3rd though, huh?

I'm sad about the chain, but this is purty too, and if it's what the customer wants it's what they want, right?

njadean In reply to talyra [2007-01-25 09:04:08 +0000 UTC]

yeah, that's what comissions are all about- if they don't like it, you keep fixing it till they do! But I'm pretty happy with it.

kirajones [2007-01-24 09:19:01 +0000 UTC]

I slightly prefered the one with chain but that's probably because I make necklaces with chain on. I still think it looks great, though, and you've got to make the customer happy.

jessi-design [2007-01-24 08:33:26 +0000 UTC]

I think it could look nice if you put a little bit of chain on this one, like just a couple of drapey bits or a few dangly bits in there. Cuz i think i like this better, but i really liked the chain in the other one!

njadean In reply to jessi-design [2007-01-25 09:06:43 +0000 UTC]

I liked the chain too- it has a really airy feeling, and it catches the light beautifully, but the customer didn't want any metal at all.

It's nice because I think the white brings out the blue & greens, and vice versa.
