White and onyx is on the back burner, but yes, those would be great color choices and more mainstream than my mermaidy colors.

Hi knotty,

Fun design, looking at the previous posts, how about calling it mermaid dreams. it reminds me of the serene bottom of the ocean kind of thing ( Okay so finding nemos opening scenes are going through my head the Coral reef scenes.. (Disney is not just for Kids, Pixar doubly so) Only I added merfolk and Various other sea creatues on a lazy "sunday afternoon swim"

Okay So I am in an exceptionally cretive mind today. LOL

Still its a fun piece

Cheers
Ash

Congratulations! At last, a non-copy machine photo of something by knotty! It is worth waiting for. It is a very lovely piece with wonderful colors and I hope Terry sells many of them!

The pearls you selected were just fab! Did you use some exotics in there? I thought I saw some greenish ones wrapped up next to the keishi. Sooo, lovely.

Thank you, Jerin. That's so kind of you to post. Yes, Mervione is correct. They are dyed. The dark ones aren't round, they are more potato, but I like their luster. The white ones are Jeremy's.

Is some on chain and some knotted or are some pearls fixed to others with pins and most knotted?
I checked the website and it is not there yet, or am I looking wrong?
Certainly my sort of design with things wrapped around other things

No, it isn't up yet. Maybe in the next month or so. That's a Terry detail and I'm content to let him take his time until he's happy.

No wire or chain. All knotted on that kite line I use. It's going to get a workout so silk wasn't in order. Sueki recommended I try fishing line so I did get some, but I didn't like it at all. Too thin, not supple enough. I could have used detolon as well.

Ah, thanks, but I can see what look like round ended head pins there...? In the pearls which aren't on a thread/line. Ingenious construction
A hair comb in the same design would be pretty...or a tiara, with pastel colours,,,very nuptial.

I just love the different forms and textures in this - can imagine how different and still awesome it will look when you work with different color themes, too. Can't wait to see your work up in lights on Terry's site, so to speak!

Knotty--a beautiful, fluid, and dynamic design. I like that it's organic and glamorous at the same time. I've shown some girlfriends--they think it's fantastic as well. Well done!
