Well Hello, it's been a while! Once again I am joining Lisa at Pine Ridge Treasures for a blog hop. We were able to choose the color for the kits and I decided to be different for once and picked green instead of blue. I have to say it was hard not to go with my favorite color but I'm glad I did.
Here is my kit from Lisa:
I ended up making 3 pieces. I did a filled netted necklace with some Toho seed beads I had, and used most of the green and amber crystals. I finished it with chenille stitch. I wish I could capture the sparkle, I'm really happy with it.
Then I did another necklace with the clear crystals, the rondelles and one of the big crystal focals. I added some more Toho beads that I had. Again this sparkles so much and I just love it.
I wasn't sure what to do next, and then I saw
this video in an email from Potomac Beads. I thought it would be perfect for the green squares, so I made this:
I haven't done any wire work in a while, and it's a little too small so I may redo it. I had a lot of fun making it though.
Now I have Renee Edbrooke's project for you:
She picked the blue kit:
She decided to do "inchies" from a YouTube video she saw from Turtle Soup Beads (here is the
link if you want to see it). Here are some of the pieces she made:
Renee put them all together in a frame, I think it turned out really nice. What a fun and unique way to use the kit!
I hope you enjoyed seeing what we made, please take a look at the other blogs to see what everyone else created:
