This might push you to\u00a0design the disks in such a way as to open up space between them so that the work on the inside could be seen. That might present a bit of a challenge but it will likely present some interesting options for added accents and forms.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/MargitBoehmer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Margit Bohmer<\/a>\u00a0did just that. Her solution to show off the intricate and highly colorful faces of her disks was to slightly dome them and have them stacked in pairs with the concave sides in, allowing an angled view to all the beautiful color and textures she worked into them. It looks like quite a bit of work too. I just love seeing this kind of dedication and commitment to a piece. Each bead face is different and could stand on its own but all together, they create an engrossing piece that will probably take the owner years to become familiar with all its varied surfaces.<\/p>\n<p>A riot of color and texture is a signature of Margit&#8217;s and she never leaves us wanting for more of either.

By sketching, planning, or just playing with your materials, change the form or the way this basic design is constructed as far as you can until you come up with something that intrigues and excites you then create your own original work from the ideas you came up with.<\/p>\n<p class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"text-align: center;\">_________________________________________<\/p>\n<p class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"likethisblog\">Like this blog?
