My polymer leaf cane, a couple of glass flower beads and leaves, some crystals and seed beads sewn onto a peyote stitched ring.

I added two hanging loops so I could hang it differently if I wanted. Now that I see it on the computer, I'm thinking it needs a large flower to balance out the polymer leaves. Maybe next time, because I'm not touching it. I know I will over work it and end up tearing it out. Unless I wear it a couple of times and it drives me crazy, then I will address it.

This is the back of the peyote strip that was a "zipper" join into a circle. I used triangles and
Silimide beading thread. I saw this technique in Bead and Button's October, 2007 issue where Veronique
Landis used silver crimp tube beads to peyote stitch a background for her
wirework, flowers and leaves. At the Tucson Bead Show I bought a pendant slider kit from Nanette Young-
Greiner (
Scorpio Beads) and Shirley Cook (
Jumping Jack Glass), who collaborate on glass flower and leaf designs to create their kits. I will post a photo of that piece in the future. It was also a peyote stitched base, but their
lampwork beads and color combinations are
phenomenal.
