I have finally found some glass beads that I like and have managed to make some classier blood using square glass beads, 4mm, 6mm and 8mm, but in between each I put a 3mm round bead so that the strands flow and curl when they move.
I really love them after looking so long for something like this, I have all other shapes, so will be doing all sorts of variations, still searching for some nice red drop beads.
I have redesigned the fist, made a new sculpture which holds onto one of the chains perfectly. It is larger than the original, the size being determined by the size of the chain, and so much more beautifully modelled compared to the original. I took many photos, printed them out and then just worked very patiently and at the end I looked at it and was like Wow did I make that. I could do with a left hand, and different sizes for different chain, and maybe a woman's hand since women like these and this fist is quite kind off aggressive. So many sculptures to make . . . . .
Here is the white fist, with seven long strands, and it feels good the way the fist moves on the chain, the weight of the glass, and the way the strands swing.
Black Fist with 8 shorter strands
Turquoise Fist, I could not wait for the square beads to arrive so I made this using the little round beads, 9 strands.
