Still Working

I'm still working on my bead projects, in fact they are all over the kitchen counter. I just haven't made the time to photograph many of the workings. This is a pendant and necklace that I am especially excited about. It turned out like I envisioned it. That doesn't happen often. Enjoy!

My Current Project

My daughter Taylor is going to the prom in 2 weeks. She choose a really cool dress, sort of unconventional for a prom, but that's Taylor!!
The dress is purple, lime, and aqua big geometric retro design.
I'm beading a cuff for her out of the same colors.
This is a sampling of the beads, the start and where I am now.
I don't usually like for someone to preset colors for me but this has been fun. I'm off to bead...

Many thanks go to Darcy Horn of The Jade Dog for her wonderful inspiring work.

Summertime Fun

I finished this adorable pendant and Listed it in my etsy shop this morning http://www.dawnchastain.etsy.com
I love the fun lime green color
Its just like the plants look in the morning after a light rain.
I finished East of Eden last night, It is one of those books that you hear about but I'd never read before, I enjoyed it!!
I'm working in my side garden today, with the rain we've had, it has gone CRAZY! My brother is coming to get some plants so I thought I'd get a start on it.

Happy Summertime Fun!
