Gold and Black St. Petersburg Chain Jewelry

When I blend in multiple colors together I usually just do a mix in one of the sections of my bead tray and pick up beads at random.  I decided to change up the fade from black to gold in this set of jewelry by utilizing the straight line angle that the St. Petersburg Chain stitch lends itself too.

I'm really enjoying the outcomes:

Necklace: $100

Bracelet: $40

Earrings $35

Japan Vacation: Ending in Tokyo

We ended our last four days in Tokyo after our Japan Rail Pass was expired. There's lots to see still and we did lots of walking.

Walking around the next day, I love the clean colors in Tokyo.

Outside the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo

I bought a book of this painter, LOVE his animals.

The floor of the museum, I couldn't help it, I'm inspired by the inlay.

Beautiful gold foiled panels.

So much anime in Electronic Town, this was a bunch of girls dressed as characters, it was in an outdoor expo sort of area.

Back to Ueno park, we hit the Zoo.

Subway art.

Characters decorating parking meters.

So long Tokyo, until we meet again.
