I picked it up from the jewelry of elisem and from Wyrding Studios, but I don't know who pioneered the form. I really like it: it helps me build the piece in my head. It's not just, "What bead would look good with this spiral bead?" but "What bead would look good with this spiral bead and also reinforce the theme of 'overcast sky and rain pounding hard and rhythmical on the sky light?"
Right now I'm working on "Malfeasant Gardening" (which turned out to be a bracelet, not earrings), "The Coppersmith's Salamander," "Sudden Sunlight," and a series of pieces named after my various RPG characters over the years ("Brithwen Tattercoat," "Jennet," "Katie Leaps-the-Fire," "Tandal the Vintner," "Deerfoot," "Snarling Jack," "Ophelia," and "Anna Riddle-Tongue.")
