Echo Creative Club - May

Welcome once again to the ECC Reveal!  You know wherein I reveal what I have done with the gorgeous beads Jeannie has sent me.

Remember this package?

Well yeah who wouldn't want to get their groove on with these.......I shall call them Blueberry Cream goodies.

So Here is what they told me they wanted to look like.  Really I am not kidding.  I got them in the mail and that night it came to me.  Although I did not get to start it till last week.

Stunning Gin Blossom made by Jeannie
 Oh and this bail!  Yep it is made with twin beads too!  I really like how this turned out!

Peeled Paint beads made by Jeannie

Polymer clay buttons made by Jeannie


Yes my sweet friends that is what it looked like in my dream.  So let me tell you a bit about it.  I beaded the chain using a twin bead spiral.  Yes twin beads in the spiral.  I haven't seen it before either.  Since I wanted to showcase all the beads in this piece I choose to make it......are you ready for this.....Asymmetrical....yes I really said that.  Those of you who know me know that this is WAY out of my comfort zone.  The chain is about 22" long and the pendant drops another 2".  As you can see in the picture I have used that cute as ever button as the closure with a very simple but strongly reinforced loop.  The whole color pallet reminds me of swirling blueberry juice in vanilla yogurt. 

So why have I given you the particulars that I do not usually give.  Well I have been told that some would like me to start selling not only my tutorials but finished pieces as well.  So here you are my friends your chance to purchase it or tell one of your friends about it.
$70.00





I did want to post my Lark books review but I am still trying to get a real good special photo to include in it.  Look for it next week.
Meanwhile please visit all our other club members and see what came out of their beady brains.
