Bead Weaving
Here are three more pieces by Tressie Hughes. This time, she has made The Royal Family Blackivory, each member featuring an ancient Orthoceras fossil as the body. She has used peyote stitch (an off-loom weaving technique) to fasten the fossils and carved bone faces to the surface (which I think is Ultrasuede) and to add the other details.

ReplyDeleteWow. Tressie really makes some interesting pieces:)
ReplyDeleteI love, love, that pin on the hat! It's great!
ReplyDeleteThis wonderful posting got me thinking about a vintage cabochon I have that I would love to make into a pendant. I then happpened upon a technique that I am unfamiliar with. If I sent you a photo, do you think you could tell me what stitch was used? Thanks!
