This is a seed bead piece that my wife did recently. I made the cabochon with silver glass from Striking Color and she worked the rest of the magic. It's about 3 inches tall.

Both are strikingly beautiful. How clever of her to marry someone who could make beautiful cabochons for her.
They are simply stunning................bead embroidery is one of my newer passions............love 'em!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, they are stunning. I couldn't do either, and as for hubby ... well, let's not go there, his talents lie elsewhere (teaches meditation, for you with the mucky minds)

She's a smart cookie! I encourage her seed bead habit and she picks out extra glass colors for me when we stop by Flametree. A pair of enablers if there ever was one.

Both stunning pieces
I think you were just teasing us with the first piece :D
I love beading too but have never tried that style. Lovely

I want to have a go at this now, it's beautiful, well done to both of you.
A match made in heaven! Beautiful pieces
Thanks very much everyone. We have a lot of fun working together. Here's another one made with a Striking color cabochon.

Does your wife do the fial designs Robert or is that a collaboration too?
The designs sort of evolve as the piece is made - we never draw anything out except the outline. She does most of the design but I get called in for consults on color choices and some of the textural features. We work together a fair amount but I give her about 95% of the creative credit.
Thanks
Robert
Just stunning, Robert & Mrs. What a talented pair you be.
very lovely

Blown away by these - I think the last one is my absolute favourite, but then again ... :)
That is stunning, I adore the petrol colours
