Beading Babes - Project 5

I recently joined a group called Beading Babes.  It was started by Karyn.  She picks a couple of projects each round, everyone makes one and then does a blog post or posts on the Facebook group on the reveal date.  This is the first project I've done for our group, I joined just as they were doing the reveal for the last one.

This time we could choose from two projects, Echos of Nefertiti (Bead and Button June/July 2012)  or the Four Leaf Clover Cuff , both created by the very talented Helena Tang-Lim.  I did the Four Leaf Clover bracelet, the pattern is available at her website, as well as kits for the Nefertiti necklace.

Here is the one I did, I used Swarovski Coral Pearls, matte forest green and gold seed beads.  I love the way it turned out. 


The pattern for the cuff is very easy to read and works up pretty fast, even for a beginner.  I loved working with it and I'm doing another one right now.  I can't post a picture though because it's a surprise for someone that reads my blog, and she will know it's for her as soon as she sees it.

Thanks for coming to visit, I will leave you with some puppy love for the rest of your weekend!
 
 That is my Gunter a few days after we brought him home (he is 6 now).

    Hi Kim,
    I love the colors of your cuff the green goes so well with the coral pearls. This was a very easy and fast pattern and one that I will do again if I need something quick and beautiful for a gift.

    Welcome to Beading Babes Kim. I hope you enjoy it. I sure do. I'd been considering getting some of those pearls. They are definitely on my shopping list now. Great work.

    I love the coral an the green together. It's such a great combination and not one I would have necessarily thought of. And puppies .. you've won me over. :)

    Great work Kim. I love your Four Leaf Clover...although I am not a fan of orange (it doesn't seem to suit me so I never use it) I love your cuff... the colours just pop!

    I am so happy you found my group. I look forward to seeing you for Project 6!

    Isn't it amazing how different each of the bracelet looks and it is usually because of the colour choices. This one is lovely.

    That is very beautiful, my girl would surely love that design.. Aside from being a platinum buyer I also collect beaded fashion jewelries. They come as a sort of hobby since my wife Tallulah is into it.
