SUNKEN TREASURE 'The Black Pearl'
by Helen McIntyre
A Helen McIntyre original design, the intricate beaded SUNKEN TREASURE 'The Black Pearl' was created exclusively for SJBS and generously gifted by the artist to support our education and community service initiatives.
SUNKEN TREASURE 'The Black Pearl' is an Octahedron with eight triangular faces. It was born from Helen's explorations using the Cellini Peyote technique with diverse geometric shapes (triangles, squares, pentagons). Her unique talents with shape combinations, color and bead size variations create the beautiful swirls, undulations and sparkle in this truly amazing piece.
SUNKEN TREASURE originally appeared in the UK Beadworkers Guild Journal, and won the vote for the readers' favorite project in the first 100 issues!
SUNKEN TREASURE 'The Black Pearl' is constructed entirely of beads and black pearls. It measures approximately 4- inches tip-to-tip in all directions. The bead loop hanger adds approximately 2-inches. Value: $400.
The artist resides in Knebworth, a village and civil parish in the north of Hertfordshire, England.
