From Flat to Dimensional with a Fold

This colorful striped moibus necklace by Peg Gerard is a series of folded-over cane slices. Both sets of corners are brought up in opposite directions to create the dimensional beads. Simple but a really dramatically effective technique.

Peg’s jewelry is often inspired by the petroglyphs and the black and white pottery of the ancient Mimbres people of New Mexico which would explain her being drawn to the black and white accents in her work. You can see more of Peg’s work on her website or her Flickr photostream.
