#ShangaDesigns My most recently completed neck piece created in cobalt blue with "old gold" floral accents.

My latest neck piece. I really didn't expect it to come out this intricate! These things have their own personalities and I'm wise to just bring it out without too much complaining. 😂😂 (at New Orleans, Louisiana)

Playing with Soutache

I’ve been having a wonderful time developing my design work using bead soutache techniques. Fabric cording, shiny beads and a little imagination leads me to some of these results!
