A Time To Stitch Challenge!

Theresa of Theresa's Treasures and Christine of One Kiss Creations have teamed up to bring this challenge to the first 30 beaders.  This challenge is a celebration of Theresa's 1 year blog anniversary!  The challenge requires that a piece be made using a certain beadweaving stitch.  Details are available on Theresa's blog.


Here is the bracelet I did for the challenge.  I used lampwork beads by Ansuya Beads (Ebay) and size 8 hex metallic beads using the herringbone stitch.  I had planned on doing something using a flat herringbone stitch, but as usual, time got away from me.  Thank you Theresa and Christine for hosting this challenge.  I look forward to more.  You can see more challenge entries via the links below.

  3. I really, really like this bracelet. I have one in similar colors that I wear ALL the time. I think that's what makes a successful piece, is how many times you go to it. Those lampies are awesome, I'll have to check out her site.

  4. I love this! I love the colors and textures and the blend of the hex and the lampworks. This would be an easy, everyday, jeans and t-shirt bracelet or a dressy event bracelet. Versatility is always a good thing :-)
    Thanks so much for joining the hop!

  8. I love that you used the hex beads. It really makes the herringbone take a different look. The lampwork beads are a wonderful addition. It's a beautiful bracelet.

  9. I agree with Christine and Shirley - this bracelet would become a wardrobe staple if it was in my jewelry box! Hex and herringbone were made for each other, don't you think?

  11. Anything purple is a winner as far as I'm concerned! And you did a nice job of spotlighting the lampwork beads with the herringbone.

BSBP#8: The Big Reveal

Right to the good stuff..... Made with Rhonda's beaded bead, crystals, and agate rondelles. Made with Rhonda's (she made it) clasp and lampwork focal. Bracelet made with brown rainbow bugle beads supplied by Rhonda. Bracelet is based on a tutorial, Toskana by SeeBead .  I used Czech twins instead of tila or tile beads.  I didn't have enough tile beads so the twins made a wonderful substitution. Soup I started with. Thank you Lori for hosting a wonderful 8th swap and blog hop!  Thank you Rhonda for a most enjoyable soup!  To see other simmering soups and creations visit the BSBP blog for the list of participants (about 500)!

7th Bead Soup Blog Party: 1st Reveal!!!

Here is a pic of my final design for the 7th Bead Soup Blog Party , hosted by Lori Anderson of Pretty Things.  It was a lot of fun, and I still have about 50% of party goer blogs to visit. Last minute additions:  Working with leftover soup!  Bracelet made with gorgeous teal agates.  I love the clasp.  I didn't know it was a clasp until it stuck to some metal chain.  Investigating further, I found it was a magnetic clasp.  How cool is that?  Jayashree sent me a wonderful soup.  Believe it or not, I still have more soup!  Stay tuned for more. Now, what to do with the brass stampings..... Just added a few swarovski pearls and walla!  Dangle earrings! Now it is time for me to show off some of what I made with the bead soup from Jayashree Paramesh, Nchantme . The funny thing is, I am not done yet.  I have soup leftover.  I will post more, if I have time. Don't forget to stop by Jayashree's blog to see what she made with the soup I sent h

One Crayon Color Challenge Reveal!

My favorite color as a child was bittersweet orange.  Sally Russick of The Studio Sublime came up with idea for a blog hop/challenge just using one color (and its various hues) from a basic crayon box. I managed to finish two bracelets and a necklace.  The top bracelet is a right angle weave orange seed beads embellished with 3mm cubes in shades of orange.   The necklace is done with orange cat eye beads, fire opal crystals, adventurine, and ice beads in shades of orange.  The second bracelet is a leather wrapped, copper bangle which used up most of the leftover beads.  This was a lot of fun!
