Echo Creative Club - August

Okay my friends this should prove to be a very interesting post as I am currently drinking a dayquil/nyquil cocktail.  Yes I believe I have the BeadFest Flu.  Oh but even with how crappy I feel it was so worth it!

So here we are again it is reveal time for the Echo Creative Club hosted by the fabulous Jeannie.  I know I have thanked her many times but really each month when I receive my package I am again delighted and sparked with creativity, so once again I am thanking Jeannie for giving me this opportunity.  You ROCK girlfriend!!!

So as I am in my flu remedy induced stooper I realized that I did not post what Jeannie sent me.  August is such a hectic month for me and add on Camping and BeadFest I think I reached an all time scatterbrained high!  I am sorry for not sharing these with you earlier.

Now I am not sure if you remember or not back in March I used some beautiful peeled paint beads of Jeannie's and unfortunately I had issues with the finish because I was handling them so much during my weaving process.  Well I have to tell you this was not the case this time.  I did start out weaving around them and none of the finish came off.  Although my finished design is far from where I intended I wanted to let you all know my findings on this matter.  

So here is my "Hot Buttered Popcorn" bracelet. 


I have been playing around with some beaded beads of my own and they worked so perfectly with Jeannie's beads.  I love the colors and texture of them mixed together.  I am looking to make more of these beaded beads to put in my shop so I am looking for any good feedback you can offer.

Please hope over to see everyone elses creations.  Some of our participants posted yesterday as they are Hoppin through bead soup today.

    I love beaded beads! I just don't have the patience for the fiddliness of all that starting and stopping but I really do love the effect. This is really a perfect pairing you've got going on....I may just have to go dig out that awesome book I have in beaded beads

    Hi Kristen,
    Ok now you did it I want popcorn! lol
    Beautiful bracelet love the beaded beads with Jeannie's polymer clay beads. I say go for putting the beaded beads in your shop and a tutorial for those of us that still need a pattern to follow for most projects. Get well soon.
