I have for awhile been desultorily been working on a series of white necklaces, and had a lot of these red and blue striped seed beads (that didn't go) left over. I didn't want to dump them back into the white mix (because I still have hopes of making more in the white series), so, clearly they needed to be used up, and lucky me, I had a couple of red, white & blue layered dot beads.

104 COE lampwork beads, seed beads, faceted & molded glass beads, basemetal findings; focal, 14mm, overall length 7"; photographed, and (probably made) on 01dec21.

Perfect. Now I could use up those seed beads. The piece also features silvertone components, rhinestone rondells, and a couple of stripies. Because I (still) haven't got my photography studio set up, this is just taken with my phone, which is why at high resolution the image is kinda crappy. Oh well, perhaps someday I'll update it, as the piece is (currently) still my collection.
