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

Bracelet

Earrings

I tend to go on a bit of a jewelry-making binge as holiday season comes up.  I decided to go with a combination of dark teal, dark gold and black this year.  Here are some of the new pieces that I have made.

Double Pod Earrings

Japan Vacation: Ending in Tokyo

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

Ginza

Fake-lace chain link, but still cool (the design was hooked in separate)

Window displays appreciating skeins

Traditional dress in front of Tiffany's

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.

So long Tokyo, until we meet again.
