Description
Cascading Dangles consists of 3 kumihimo braids, each one made with different size/style beads. Two of the braids have color blocked sections with spiral patterns. The bottom of these two braids are embellished with jeweled dangles using variety of seed beads, 2 hole triangles, prong beads and pearls. The second braid is doubled to form a loop through which you can thread the first two braids. The third has a beaded slider which has the function of keeping the braid together while adjusting the size of the loop. End caps are beaded.
Instructor – Aasia Hamid
Aasia has always been interested in art from fused glass wall art pieces to stained glass, from pottery to painting murals on the walls. She has been drawn to color and texture since she added beads to her needle 15 years ago. Mastering the art of bead weaving has been achieved by many hours of practice and experimentation. She hand fabricates each of her pieces with great attention to detail. Every detail must be beautiful, unusual and of excellent quality. Aasia likes to incorporate many mediums into her pieces like Kumihimo, bead weaving, polymer and epoxy clay. She has presented many of her masterpieces at juried art festivals.
