Welcome to The Pretty Palettes Reveal, If you have been around last week I posted how excited I am that Erin of Treasures Found and Halcraft USA asked me to play along this month.
Here is the palette again, From Design Seeds
These are the beads she choose,
I have to say I jumped in with both feet immediately. Sometimes that works for me but other times it ends in a block. These both happened to me this time. I started out playing with these trying to keep in mind I wanted to use all the beads in one piece. Some of my trys I will show you others I will not.
Here was my first thought.
I did not like the boxy look of this one, the green beads did not play well and frankly I REALLY wanted to use the 3 hole links. So it was scrapped.
Then it hit me I may not be able to use all the beads in one piece and I was putting a bit too much pressure on myself. With that out of the way this next piece literally flowed from my fingers.
I love the vintage look and feel of this and the color is perfection. Honestly this only took me 2 evenings to finish so it worked up fast too.
Then the block came. I really really wanted to use the green but everything I tried wasn't looking like I wanted it to. I even thought I would make a link.
It just did not have it for me. I set the green aside again and this happened.
Fun to put together but I did not like the way it felt on my wrist. Then in the 11th hour almost literally it hit me. I changed up the seed bead and Monday evening this came to me.
I am loving the look and feel of this necklace and as you are reading this I am working on finishing it.
I can not wait to wear it! I feel bad this is not completed but as in my normal crazy life my sweet husband pinched his sciatica and I have been nurse maid since then.
Thank you so much Erin for challenge me this month I truly enjoyed playing!
Hugs,
KK
