2023 Annual Raffle
Raffle Prize is Feathers of the Peacock Necklace Designed, Constructed and Donated
by Cynthia Rutledge
Feathers of the Peacock is Cynthia’s contemporary interpretation of the allure of a majestic symbol of wealth, beauty, rebirth and royalty. A favorite motif in ancient Rome and Byzantium, the peacock’s iridescent feathers are symbolized in this radiant amethyst piece. Three “feather” shapes are filled with embellished Swarovski pearls, linked for a fabulous focal point. The focal and ropes are created in meticulous right-angle-weave; pearl embellishments, buttons and the necklace connector use peyote stitch and netting techniques. This elegant necklace measures 18 inches in length.
Cynthia Rutledge is a contemporary seed bead artist and educator, specializing in off-loom weaving techniques, with an emphasis on making sculptural unsupported shapes with beads. An educator for 25-plus years, her work is globally recognized. Cynthia is also a published author of Timeless Beadwork Designs. See more of her work: www.cynthiarutledge.net.
Tickets are $5 each or 5 for $20. For more info and to purchase tickets see SJBS Annual Raffle 2023
