To Bead or not to Bead?
Here is a piece I had been working on for most of the summer. The coral I bought at Shell World in Key West, the quartz from Santa Fe. The beads, well, at a gem show, but I questioned whether to use beads or not. Most of the summer I spent contemplating these mother of pearl beads- would it take the attention away from the gems? Would it de-value my work? Would it make my work looks cheesy? I'm still wondering....

I think the beads draw attention away from the beautiful construction of what you so artistically put together.
MY VOTE:::
NOT TO BEAD
Hah, hah, thanks for your input!
Who are you, ANONYMOUS?
Leslie-
Anonymous clearly STRUGGLES with aesthetic issues. This piece is gorge!
Actually, now that I'm studying it, I'm thinking maybe chain or something would be more pleasing than beads... the freaking cluster is outrageous, though!
