I really love getting to create along with such talented artists. It is great fun to see the gorgeous palette of beads that the wonderful Erin Prais-Hintz has selected for the month.
I enjoyed the challenge of this pallete but looking at that dessert picture really made me crave some sweets. Once I got some dessert :), I headed to Michaels. Some of the beads were tricky to find. The little gray rondelles had fallen back behind some other beads but my mother-in-law was on a quest to help and finally found them. However, I never found the glass pearls so I just used some round ones that I had in my stash.
When I sat down to create I had circular brick stitch on the brain from a fun online class. I went to work making the round that I would use as the pendant.
I really liked how all the silver beads and cones set off the design. And I liked the way the other rounds fit into the necklace.
I like to use leftover bead mixes to make memory wire bracelets. It's a great way to use up odds and ends.
I had a great time and love how it makes me think outside of the box with my designs. I can't wait to see what everyone makes!
