Week 33 - IN CELEBRATION OF LIFE

I had a major brain drain with this weeks theme.
Quite a few suggestions were put forward on CWJ - all pretty good ones, but it just didn't seem like that was where my head wanted to go this week.
I got to thinking about what makes up all living things. This is my attempt - the double helix (?) DNA strand.
I wove the beads onto two parallel strands of 16gauge silver, then spiralled it into the shape here. I have also used cherry quartz hearts and little brick shaped beads.
The colours in the photo are a bit off (darker than IRL), I just couldn't seem to get the balance right for some reason.
