Brass Strand of Beads

A narrow band of ruddy gold wafers, supple as braided rope.

This is a strand of beads. It is brass. Brass beads in a strand are often graded or mixed by size, so the rhythm of the strand is as much a part of the piece as the beads. Very thin disc beads strung in a dense row, tones moving between amber, pink, and pale yellow. Edges overlap a bit, giving a faint scalloped ridge. The strand rests in two sweeping rings with a curved tail.

A small thing made with an almost rude amount of patience.
