Project and Sample by Janice Parsons
When we think of a new beginning we often have an image of a tiny seedling bursting with green life in resplendent sunshine…it’s how so many plants got their start…from thin blades of grass to mighty oak trees. It all starts with something tiny and grows into a natural masterpiece. It’s the same for beading, did you know?
Start with an idea, some inspiration, a thought…Janice was inspired by the West African Mixes and the new Egyptian Clasps…and thus this cuff came about! Beading with mindfulness and patience, designing with Janice’s techniques of lane-ing and spacing…it’s all in this bracelet’s origins.
