<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">At Art Bead Scene this month the above picture was given as inspiration. I fell in love with it. I know the story so this scene by Kay Nieslen was awesome!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">It took a while to decide what to make as the colors weren't something I normally use. But I was looking on Etsy and found some fiber beads by <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/FiberBeads">Eleanore</a> at Fiber Beads. They were just the colors I wanted.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Again, I use these challenges to step out of the box to try something new. I wanted to do a cuff bracelet using the fiber beads. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I got the fiber beads and other beads I had chosen to go with them sewn on the shiny black backing, but ran out of time to put the whole thing together. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">So I am posting what I do have and hope to get the rest finished soon.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I plan to encircle the outside of the bracelet with the rice pearls and the gold seed beads. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hi all. Time again for another challenge. At Facet this month we were challenged to do something beachy. Using the colors of the beach, waves, and sky.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I had a lot of sea glass from <a href="http://www.znetshows.com/Cultured-Sea-Glass-Beads_c_108.html">Znetshows</a> that I needed to use up so I pulled them out of my stash, then got an email they had some new sea glass Sea Life, so I ordered the cute little green turtles. I mean what beach isn't complete without a turtle or two.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The colors I used were aqua, green, red, topaz and some glass rondelles that had had aqua and green running through them. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I wanted to try something out of the box so I created loops at each end to put silk cord through so you tie it in the back, and then I used bead weaving thread to make a fringe out of sand colored seed beads to represent the sand on the beach. Plus a set of earrings to match.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">This is what I came up with:</span><br />

We're All Ears :: August Inspiration :: Moths</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">OH Yes! It is that time again. Time when Erin challenges us with a new theme... this time it is MOTHS! Aren't they beautiful! Talk about color, and designs! Would keep a beader busy for quite a while!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">If you want a little insight into moths, you can check out the website at <a href="http://earrings-everyday.blogspot.com/2017/08/were-all-ears-august-inspiration-moths.html">We're All Ears</a></span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">When I saw the challenge I was like "YES" I think moths get a bad rap. They are beautiful, just like butterflies!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">What drew me in first was the ones with the eyes! Just couldn't get it out of my mind, so that is what I went with. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I would say that they have a bit of Bohemian look to them. But we all know we do what the beads want. And I know tassels are the in thing, so I tried my hand at some. Kind of fun!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So without further ado...here is what I made:</span></div>
<div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOpPs3D_J43KmFJfTSVn-MPfvwqDqFzMRr1SyjeS5MCQNc5qFlTx8jdCAmztuD7uyVYCXZV87jSa49jbAazwiD5UrnGrZv2ItwOqrN3Le1nn17SSopPEPPS7r0QxvJxZahVHyyzthYIGFe/s1600/GEDC1384.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1295" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOpPs3D_J43KmFJfTSVn-MPfvwqDqFzMRr1SyjeS5MCQNc5qFlTx8jdCAmztuD7uyVYCXZV87jSa49jbAazwiD5UrnGrZv2ItwOqrN3Le1nn17SSopPEPPS7r0QxvJxZahVHyyzthYIGFe/s320/GEDC1384.JPG" width="259" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmVUHBThyn2rb2z3MTS5-B8yuSClr7LTgt59yZOlS-Hr1Fm7oc8zVO7BNcHt1B8rSdI4VoMRH4cQCbue1MTvdep1r2_M0xeasXOqkuJmmU7i3oCaWMTxeINshmWAh9BV5ZH3tHPKxbBDAm/s1600/GEDC1387.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1411" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmVUHBThyn2rb2z3MTS5-B8yuSClr7LTgt59yZOlS-Hr1Fm7oc8zVO7BNcHt1B8rSdI4VoMRH4cQCbue1MTvdep1r2_M0xeasXOqkuJmmU7i3oCaWMTxeINshmWAh9BV5ZH3tHPKxbBDAm/s320/GEDC1387.JPG" width="282" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Do you think I could get the eyes to look at me all at the same time. NO....and one eye is going the wrong way, but hey at least it is looking at you.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I really like how these turned out and and I think I may keep them. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So until next month</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Keep on beading!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">For July, Facet Jewelry challenged us to Bling it Up! I am a 60's child, so bling is right up my alley!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I thought about doing some earrings but couldn't decided. THEN while checking out <a href="http://toocutebeads.com/">Toocutebeads.com</a> I came across a bracelet that inspired me as I has similar beads. It was called Dazzling - Graphic - Bracelet. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So I went through my beads and came up with the beads and then strung my piece on white Fireline so that the beads would lay nicer. I really love the rhinestone dividers. That is what caught my eye to begin with at Toocutebeads. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">And here is my offering:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkCKt8s_PGqb6dn8J-qYLS9A3-nVbTCTeprldwrPjEgTfjLP4JuMjfA37IhKNoNtjWF8-gHKGtIVd70J4rhv4l9hMmckLpvVC1jZqNYpjtqQjPlXZ7j2JiIHYMpgXPU3dSFO8C0fFlI3NF/s1600/GEDC1070.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1387" data-original-width="1600" height="554" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkCKt8s_PGqb6dn8J-qYLS9A3-nVbTCTeprldwrPjEgTfjLP4JuMjfA37IhKNoNtjWF8-gHKGtIVd70J4rhv4l9hMmckLpvVC1jZqNYpjtqQjPlXZ7j2JiIHYMpgXPU3dSFO8C0fFlI3NF/s640/GEDC1070.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The clasp is magnetic so it goes on really easy. It is an 8 inch bracelet. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">For more great Bling it Up eye candy head over to <a href="http://www.facetjewelry.com/news-and-views/inspiration/2017/07/bling-it-up-in-july">Facet Jewelry</a> and check it out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Til next time,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Keep on Beading</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Now I know a lot of people don't like Christmas in July....says it takes away from the holiday. BUT for us crafter's, if we don't start in July, we won't be finished by Christmas.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">But for me I love looking at the new ideas and see if there are any I can use for my holiday gifts!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">For my idea I created a Christmas colored stretchy bracelet with matching earrings out of BUTTONS. I love working with buttons. They are so versatile.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">You can do so much with them in the various colors! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Just the right accessory to throw on as you go out the door during the holidays. It isn't showy or sparkly but it lets everyone know you are in the holiday spirit. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The next two sets I went online to find some stitched patterns at Beadmagic.com. So the second one I based off of <a href="http://beadsmagic.com/free-pattern-for-necklace-madlen/#more-11217">Madlen</a>. I used the basic stitch but added my own twist to it. In this set I used the aqua and grey beads again with some salmon and black beads along with crystal seed beads.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I think I may need to do a bit of adjusting but I like how it came out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The third set I made I chose <a href="http://beadsmagic.com/free-pattern-for-necklace-zefir/">Zefir</a> from Beadmagic.com. I love their designs to use to get those juices flowing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">For this one I used the clear crystals, white pearls and the closure from Lisa.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The rest of colored pearls and the multi-colored seed beads were from my stash. I couldn't get the crystal's to show their bling even on the black.</span><br />

<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">We were challenged to create earrings based on "visual music" created by</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">" artist named </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><a href="http://g.co/doodle/xtnkzx">Oskar Fischinger</a>. If that name doesn't sound familiar, you likely have seen his work in the animated Disney classic, </span></div>
</div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Fantasia. His work is the opening with the graphical representation of the notes. ( #GoogleDoodle<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">).</span>

<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">So Miss Erin our challenge master, tasked us with finding some "visual music" and create!</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">To me I really enjoyed the visual aspect of it. Reminded me of a vacuum hose sucking up dust bunnies. :-)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Any way...I went through my stash and found some clear tubing that kinda went with the theme. I then modpodged on some colored paper and drew black lines with a permanent marker.
I then added some Swarovski colored crystals to chain and had it coming out the bottom to represent the tube swallowing the colors and turning the tube colors. The top didn't turn out quite like I had in mind. but it worked.
So here is my "visual music" inspired earrings:

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Oh my...two blog postings...I can't contain myself. And I will have one more coming soon. So maybe June was the catalyst I needed to get blogging again. I don't know, but when I saw the art for the June challenge, wellll, I am a 60's child and bright neon colors are for me.</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So I was hopping around on Etsy to find a really cool bead or pendant with these colors and came upon Nathalie of <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/MyGardenOfLove?ref=l2-shopheader-name">My Garden of Love</a> and what do you think she had....yep...ALL kinds of wild neon colored beads. It was so hard to choose! I could have bought them all. Really you have to check out her site.</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Anyway, I also had some bright colored wooden beads that said they wanted to play. And then a neon roll of satin cord dropped in to play too. But even with all this something was missing, needed something with punch!</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Black...or course, I needed something to tone down the bright colors...so I rummaged around in my black bead stash and found some black oval felty/velvet beads that had been lying around for ever just waiting to be used.</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">With all these wonderful "toys" to play with I decided it had to be simple so that I could show case the pendant. I never knotted before, but I figured why not....(pun intended)</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So I put all my toys together with my knotted satin cord and this is what I came up with.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As you can see, I looped on an extra pink bead at the end and made an open loop on the other end so that I could just slide the cord over the bead. Works!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hi ya'all. Yeah I know, I have been absent for a while....blame it on life. That's all I can say without going into gory detail...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">SO....when Facet had their monthly challenge for June I knew I had to participate. I mean who doesn't upcycle???? I was ready and chomping at the bit.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">A few years back when I was really into thrift store hopping and buying most anything, (I am more conservative now) I picked up a bag of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zaks">ZAKS</a> toys.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I knew I still had them laying around, so I dug them out and decided since July 4th was around the corner, I would make my color scheme red,white, and blue.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">My first piece is the necklace...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbPUz9paGsE9LhOALk-fGIu8A1x33UDrW_mYlLsX7WwgmHfwgtDmlZi3x78xfI-h8dk6erB07FgbBZL7Qno0FJN5zH7CHi3I2i9qU0NbG0fhXS4jR3eEnSo8qfhVw6KpmQ8wfmYEROsldq/s1600/GEDC0972a.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1061" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbPUz9paGsE9LhOALk-fGIu8A1x33UDrW_mYlLsX7WwgmHfwgtDmlZi3x78xfI-h8dk6erB07FgbBZL7Qno0FJN5zH7CHi3I2i9qU0NbG0fhXS4jR3eEnSo8qfhVw6KpmQ8wfmYEROsldq/s640/GEDC0972a.JPG" width="424" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As you can see, I wire wrapped (along with a bit of super glue) using some bead that I had on hand.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Next are the earrings: They were a little harder to do because I used three of the toy pieces stack on each other and getting the head pins just right and doing the wire wrapping, PLUS putting a hole in the middle piece....well it took me a while. But here they are.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Hi everyone...well today is the reveal...for Linda Anderson with Bead Peeps.<br />
<br /><br />
When I signed up, I didn't realize I would soooo busy with taxes this year, but I haven't had hardly any time to even breath. <br />
<br /><br />
I am even posting from work today! And of course I don't have the before picture because it is at home on my desktop....<br />
<br /><br />
But I have the pictures of what I completed. My partner was Minnette Miller! And she has had a rough time too. But that is not my story to tell. SOOOO anyway...below is what I made with the beautiful beads she sent me. <br />
<br /><br />
First is the necklace. She sent me such cool beads with a sea vibe, that I couldn't not do it. And for some reason, the color peachy/orange kinda decided to be in the bunch. The chain she sent is awesome and I want to know where she got it because I want some! It is full of jump rings on jump rings...loved it! I haven't put a clasp on yet as I haven't decided it I want it to pull on or have a clasp... The aqua, well aqua means water and the color just seemed to jive with everything else! In the bottom left I have a close up of the bigger beads she sent. I forgot to turn the blue glass shell over, but there is a pearl in it.<br />

Then she sent some cool beads that I made into earrings...The white glass beads on the bottom feel like they were sand blasted. Very cool! Then she sent those cute green glass beads with pink flowers, so I topped it off with pink pearls. I really like it. Might have to keep these. The picture on the right shows off the bead caps better.</div>

The last set of earrings...I managed to get one done because the bead for the second wouldn't go down on the wire since it is doubled...but I have a bead reamer that I will use gently to make the hole bigger. But here they are. </div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"> I see a "Garden Party". I love Dry Gulch beads and her designs!!! And those cute little lampwork beads from Marie Sawyer....I am keeping them for me! I see some cute earrings in the making with them. Then that awesome Man on the Moon Pendant that Lauri made. Can't wait to get to that...I can see it with seed beads....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"> I am sure I won't get all done by the dead line but I will have the "Garden Party" ready!</span></div>

Well, I can tell you "Garden Party" didn't happen. After I got all the beads together I wanted to use, they refused to play nice...So they just sat on my work table for about a week....with me staring at them. So then I started going through my stash thinking about what I might have that would work, but nothing garden party popped up....sigh...but I found some other beads that complimented the hand painted piece by Dry Gulch and the green beads and the blueish green crystals. And this is what I came up with:</div>

And for the other beads that didn't want to play nice I made earrings out of them....and they look really good! Those were the flowers for my "garden party". Oh well, I like them better this way!</div>

Then...that marvelous man in the moon pendant, I wanted to do something really neat, And I did get started, making a spiral necklace for it, but I ran out of the dark grey pearls, so until I get more it will have to wait. But for the pendant it's self, I have some black and white beads and crystal beads that I am going to bead around with. Hopefully I will get it finished soon, I have been so busy with tax season...no time to bead.....</div>

Hello all, it is time for one of Miss Lori's Bead Soup Blog Party's. We are so glad that she has been able to do this and that her awesome recovery will continue. We so missed her!</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">And they sat on my desk all through the holidays waiting for me to make up my mind on what I wanted to do. So I got out my color wheel and played with different combinations since I wanted some color besides green and white.</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It is kind of hard to see, but the crystals in the first row have purple in them so I added purple seed pearls, with some lavender stone beads on the end. In the second row I used orange Swarovski crystals to pick up the orange of the stone beads in the first row. Then the third row I used the orange and purple beads along with the green beads and white pearl beads. The earrings are three sections hooked together using the same beads, though I did leave out the purple in case one would want to wear the earrings with something else green and white.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have an idea for the grayish/green stones that are left and hope to get them up soon. I am a tax preparer so right now I am really, really busy!</span></div>

I didn't realize how long it had been since I blogged. I guess going back to work and the holidays got the best of me.<br />
<br />
I have been asked about my jewelry, I did some over Christmas as gifts, but didn't think to take pictures of them. So I went back and pulled together the jewelry I did last year. I have a couple of challenges come up so I will be posting more.<br />
<br />
Below are two colleges I put together of most of the jewelry I did last year. Most were for challenges, a few personal. The two blue and white pearls pictures are the necklaces and earrings and a bracelet I made for my daughter and I for her wedding.<br />
<br />
I like working with most types of beads and components. I do not do clay or metal work...not that talented..<br />
<br />
I do love doing seed beading and have done pieces in the past. Just not sure where the pictures of them are at the moment.<br />
<br />
So for all that have asked..here is a sample of my work.<br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The blue spotted beads I got from a blow out sale at Fire Mountain Gems last year and I just happened to find them when looking through my blue beads..I think they go quite nicely.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Next I found a pattern by Deborah Roberti at www.AroundTheBeadingTable.com It is called Crystal Picot Bracelet. I really liked it, but once I got going, the sea glass beads and the glass green, aqua and white made it really heavy. So I opted to only do five sections. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Not really sure about this one either...I think the weight of the beads would lend better to a necklace.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then I created a couple of sets of earrings.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> The little "water drops" beside the fish are a very very light blue. But they reminded me of water drops and fish need water.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well, it is that time again....and yes I know it is Sat, and I know I missed last week, but last Thursday, we had to put our sweet dog, Miss Penelope, of 12 years down due to health issues. It was very, very hard and I just really didn't feel like doing anything for the weekend. Then yesterday I attended a memorial service of a dear friend from our church...so this week I am a day late.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For these weeks prompts, we have Starts with M, weeks favorite, and work.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And as I continue with my vacation pictures, what better to show than MOUNTAINS. Not sure where each one is but they are all west of Texas.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As for my favorite of the week..this is my husband watering the garden. He didn't know I had taken it til I posted it on FB. What a hoot!</span></div>

OH MY...OH MY....It's Friday again. Hard to believe there is only one Friday in the week. Seems to come around so often. This week Teresa from <a href="https://edenhills.wordpress.com/">Eden Hills</a> challenged us with Starts with K, Weekly Favorite and Yellow or Gold.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Unfortunately I didn't have many K's in my vacation pictures but did find a few: A JacKalope I forgot last week...my son being Krazy with a Kactus...Knots in a tree that was in my brother in law's yard, A Koyote.. and a train with Kline on the side....</div>
