I LOVE SUE'S CABS!!!!!
This is what she offered up this month for us to play with.
Now I would have also loved some chicklets but I can not resist the chance to play with her cabs!!!! If you saw my last post I was part of the Waxed Linen Blog hop and now I need linen and chicklets!
So on with my creation. I should tell you that I had a little health hiccup earlier this month just when Sue's cab arrived and I needed to keep my mind off the waiting and itching. LOL I also new from the moment I picked my cab (actually she made one special for me....Thanks for that!) what I wanted to do. That does not happen very often. Here is where the inspiration came from.
I loved making the Dutch Spiral with twins so much I new it would make a good necklace!
And I embroidered the pendant with twins too!!!
I was able to wear this on Mothers' Day to the Rochester Lilac Festival and got a few comments.
Sorry this post is so short I am working through a migraine but that does not take away the love I have for this necklace that is now a cherished part of my collection!!! Please check out what everyone else choose and made I can not wait!!!

Gorgeous inspiration and gorgeous necklace! You are so amazing with those seed beads, and I love the bezel around the cab! That would be a great tutorial, Kristen! I haven't seen one like that! Thank you so much for playing along this month and hope your migraine goes away!
ReplyDeleteYowzah! Yum.
ReplyDeleteThe cab has a subtle blue silver in it - the darker duos in the bezel help bring that out. I love it - and you are totally getting bonus karma points for making matching CoM designs two months running!
Love love love! The bezel just curves and hugs the cab divinely.
ReplyDeleteHope you're feeling better!
Just gorgeous as always, Kristen! I hope you don't laugh when you see what I did with twins!
ReplyDeleteThis is just beautiful- I LOVE it! Hope you are feeling better soon!
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely Kristen - as always...very soothing colours too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful set. I'm glad you made a necklace to match because it is simply lovely! I love the color too. Feel better. Migraines are evil.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Kristen I love it! Is the dutch spiral with twins a stitch you made up or did you learn it from someone else? I like how it turns out and now I want to try it.
ReplyDeleteTherese
It's beautiful Kristen!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful and elegant piece. I love the spiral bead stitch. And the bracelet that inspired it is just a lovely.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous bead work! Sorry you are struggling with a migraine today...I know how that is...I hope it passes quickly.
ReplyDeleteI love the periwinkle/lilac colors you paired with the cab--I love designs in variations of the same hue. Your beaded bezel is so lush, and so meticulous--you do amazing work! The twisting beaded strand is amazing, I would love to hold one of those in my hand one day! Very cool.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you're suffering a migraine headache Kristen, hope it goes away quickly. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the necklace you created using one of Sue's cabochons and I think your use of the twin beads to create a pretty bezel was pure genus. Also I agree with you as I too love the way your Dutch spiral necklace looks made with the twin beads, they really give it texture and definition. Is there a tutorial on making the Dutch spiral with twins ?
Kristen, your dutch spiral with twins is wonderful. It gave me a new inspiration for a piece I am doing. Thanx.
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS, GORGEOUS, GORGEOUS! Love you lady!!
ReplyDeleteReally pretty, you're so clever with those tiny beads!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great necklace! I am so glad that you have been able to enjoy wearing it. And I hope that your migraine lightens up. I suffer from them and they are NO fun.
