As you know, I am one of the designers for Znetshows and from time to time we are invited to do a blog hop using the awesome sea glass they create! I just love a challenge because not only do I love the beads, but I get an opportunity to create something new! I chose the fun button beads this time around. I will be honest and tell you that I had no idea of what I was going to make with these beads... normally I can look at them and the creative part of my brain will turn on and get to working! That did NOT happen this time around... my summer was coming to an end...and my job started back up on Monday...and I am now down to a few days...
Sooooo...over the weekend...I did some drawings...and I gathered up some beads and sat down and started playing around...this was on Monday evening...only 5 days to the blog hop...yikes! Turned on the ballgame...watched my team lose...sad...but its ok...its all good!
I put a pair of earrings together...cute... I liked them...then decided to make a second pair the same...just different colors... I knew I wanted to make a necklace of some kind...I thought I might as well make a necklace that can be worn with either pair...right?
Ok...so playing with the beads....nothing in the brain is working...so I set all the beads aside...waited until Tuesday after I got home from work and told myself...you GOT to do something... so I fiddled with the beads again...started putting them on some beading wire...and Oh...im liking this... I finished up the main part of the necklace...but it needs more...lots more! So Wednesday comes around...hmmmm...how about using some faux suede? I have this great glittery silver faux suede... yup... I like this...now all I need is a clasp...so Thursday, after work... I get out my wire and hammer and get to work! And you know me...I cant do things simple... so now I need to think of something to wrap around the connections... hmmm...I gotta go dig... Dont forget...my craftroom is still in total disarray...not completely organized since I am still in the process of gutting it out... (still preparing for remodeling our bathroom) so things are not all in places I am used to having them and I have to hunt a little more...its ok though...it just means I will remember where they are for the next time I need what ever it is right? LOL
Made it to Friday...phew! Left work on time and got home around 2:45...traffic was smooth although they are doing tons of road work on the road I drive on to and from work...and it was down to 1 lane only for a short drive... I set up my little photo area and took a ton of photos...I love this new little flash ring I bought on Amazon...and it is a nice addition to my camera accessories...the pics turned out great...had to very little photoshopping to lighten up the pics...
So with all this said....here are my finished pieces...love the colors...love the beads...and I hope you love the designs...
