Wedding Fun

I'm working on a Wedding. Not mine of course but a customers! She wants me to do necklaces and earrings for bridesmaids. It has been an absolute ball. The colors are to die for, Azalea and Mango. These are a few of the pictures of what I have going...

SPRING BREAK?

Think this is a trick?

Not hardly... It is actually the theme for the Esty-Beadweavers Beading Challenge for this month.

The theme was simply "Spring Break" I've always thought of tans, bathing suits, bright sun, flip flops and some good music. Sleeping late, off scheduling eating and staying up late.

Basically - No Rules!

Now don't get me wrong, I like rules and I like everyone to know and abide by them ...but every once in a while it is fun to just be free.

Thus, the piece I created.....totally freeform peyote stitch in bright , happy, sunny colors!

Enjoy the feast for your eyes and cast your vote at http://www.etsy-beadweavers.blogspot.com

Love those words!

I've done

a couple

of really

cute

things lately using a discarded dictionary!

I thought that you might like to take a look. One is a pin and one is a pendant

using the words whimsical and wacky. I also did one that used the the definition

of faith, but I've already sold that one!!

If you have a favorite word that you want "bebeaded" please don't hesitate to let me

know. I'm sure I'll list some more real soon.
