Hello!! I'm so sorry for the delay in my reveal! I truly appreciate your patience! Life kind of got away from me this past week! The theme for this piece was a flowering vine. I made a peyote stitch tube that started steel grey and gradiated into purple, then teal and aqua. There is a swirl of iridescent beads throughout it. I then wrapped a spiral rope representing the vine around this, added some beaded flowers and buds and leaves. The clasp doubles as part of the vine, and see if you can find the hidden bug :) I hope you enjoy!
