Bezeled Island Jasper Completed

Here is the piece that was bezeled in peyote stitch upon completion.  This project triggered a flurry of off- loom weaving branching out into at least four new projects underway. The idea was to keep the focus on the actual properties of the color ways and shape of the stone.

  
The clasp is the bronze finishing hammertone clasp by Tierracast.  It created an interesting contrast to the piece. Japanese seed beeds were used in the strap in the Spiral Stitch Technique It is now in a private collection.
