Hi Everyone!! Today I am joining Lisa at Pine Ridge Treasures for the Color Blog Hop. We all purchased a kit from Lisa and were able to choose a color for the kit. Of course, I chose blue. I even remembered to take a before picture:
All that beautiful blue - thank you Lisa, these beads are gorgeous and a great mix!
The first thing I did was decide that I was going to learn how to wire wrap those briolettes. I have tried several times before and wasn't successful. So I kept trying, and then it clicked, so I made some earrings. I still need some more practice since they are a little wonky, but I am happy to wear them.
Then I went looking for beads to go with that pretty aquamarine. I found a focal, some cord, and a few other beads. And I had this design screaming in my head to get out. So I started.
And then I had to work 60 hours this week. Unfortunately, that is all I've been able to get done. I will post it when I finish in Lisa's Facebook group and here on the blog. I have plans for the rest of the beads too, more ideas swirling around in my head that I can't wait to get to. Please take a look at what the other participants did with their kits;
