Art Jewelry Elements Component of Month Reveal - Linda

Here we are again.  I have to say I do love this time of the month.  This months reveal is brought to you by Linda of Linda Landig Jewelry.
Aren't these gorgeous?  I did remember to get a picture BEFORE I completed my design this month.
For those of you who do not know orange is my favorite color.  I only get to decorate with it this time of year and there are rarely components that use orange so I was extremely excited and in love with it.  The other great part is that I had the exact matching seeds that have been waiting for just a component this special.
At first before I received it I thought I might do some bead embroidery , however Linda's glazing and colors are so perfect that I just couldn't cover any of it.  On the cover of the newest Bead and Button magazine is a twisted herringbone using varying bead sizes that I thought would be perfect.  As I always do I wanted a smaller chain so I used smaller beads.
I liked it but it just did not have enough.  So it sat as I tried to figure out what I could add to give it the look I wanted.  In the meantime I played with the colors and some other beads to create a matching bracelet.  I had a design in mind but as I was stitching this is what I came up with.
I am having fun with it.  It has the colors of just changing trees.  So a funny thing happened when I was moving things around on my tray, I twisted the two ropes together a bit and it looked cool so I twisted them completely and I really like the look of it.
I did happen to run out of the green picasso 8/0's so I am waiting to order some to finish the rest of it and I am still trying to work out the connection.

I am so excited to see what everyone else has created.  Hop on over to the Art Jewelry Elements blog to check them out.

Choosy-Chicks-Choose-Chicklets Blog Hop




Hosted by the lovely Rita of Jewel School Friends.

I was completely thrilled to be one of the lucky participants for this challenge.  I am a huge fan of Sue of Suebeads.  She is not only a friend but a very talented artist.  And lets face it these chicklet beads are so fun and happy who wouldn't be excited?

Well I wanted something special to showcase this little treasure so it sat and sat until it started talking.  I know you have heard me say this before but it is so true for me.  I put so many options together but unless the bead is chatting up a storm it just doesn't fit.  So like I said it sat and sat.  In fact it sat until Friday.  I had a few other pieces to complete while I was waiting for it to get chatty.  Darn thing just wouldn't speak I tell ya.

So I had to finish up a necklace from the Art Jewelry Elements Component of the Month that Linda had hosted because I finally knew the right way to clasp it.

Dont you know that little chicklet began screaming at me!  I knew just what to do!  

I loved how this turned out and to be honest since I am going to BeadFest in August I am getting a whole strand to play with because I can see a bracelet full of them.

Now you all should know I have to remake this.  And this is why...


Did you see that thread!!!!!!  You should have heard the words when I found it!!!  (Well probably not cuz some of you think I am too nice to say what came out of my mouth)

I will remake it and wear it because it is just so precious!  Now I want you to go check out what everyone else made with theirs!!!  I am so excited to hop!
