A bit 'desperate' looking IMO. Not sure I get the point, but... fortunately there's a gazillion preferences out there.
It looks like beading and wire can get very impressive, but the effort, attention and talent involved keep designs from getting mass market. And that's a good thing I suppose. It looks like Etsy seem to be trying to prove otherwise. Oh well... Why not!
Found
THIS recently (a class catalog, working pretty well as designer directory).
... one beading design using 'petal' shaped keshi remained in my memory: one of the 'garlands' by
Laura McCabe. Her things make me want pick up a beading needle again!
Where do folks wear such things? Are these simply 'collected' under glass? I would need some toned down to dare wear them.
