Kelly Russell’s PMC keyhole and fragment beads are still a favorite of mine. I wrote about the artist’s one-of-a-kind beads last year and was delighted when she recently left a comment on the post letting us know about her latest work combining PMC, polymer clay, Tiffany glass, resin, antique buttons, pearls, opals, topaz…even diamonds. This new body of work adds a jolt of color to Russell’s portfolio. Hot stuff!

Many thanks for letting us know Kelly has new work up. She is the most wonderfully inventive and original artist and so generous and sharing with her techniques. She always seems one step ahead! Many of us have benefited from her expertise and continue to enjoy her wonderful company.
Those are really gorgeous! I have never seen raw diamonds before… they look really interesting!
