Time for my reveal..... I had a sea kit pictured above. I added a mix of seed beads from my stash and strung them all on reclaimed copper wire from "scraps" that were being thrown out from a rewiring job at my day job. I like the mix of colors, but really had quite the time incorporating the metal pieces included in my kit-- I'm still not sure if I really like it or not- it just isn't quite my style I guess...but all things considered, I think I did a pretty ok job of combining everything and used everything from my kit.... what do you think????
Hey Annette, you have risen to the challenge! Blog Hops are the reason I started blogging last summer, and they're a constant source of inspiration. I'm impressed that you were able to use ALL your kit in a very dense and dramatic design, and even add some seed beads (those little suckers scare me LOL!)
ReplyDeleteOn a side note, I don't know if I'm the last person to learn of your struggle since your accident last December... I just wanted you to know you can add me to the list of folks praying for your full return to health, Annette.
I love the quote you offered on a post last November:
"You may not be a Picasso or Mozart but you don't have to be. Just create to create. Create to remind yourself you're still alive. Make stuff to inspire others to make something too. Create to learn a bit more about yourself." -- Frederick Terral
I'm gonna keep that one close to my heart!
I love how you used copper with the blues and greens...it makes quite a statement! Love it!
ReplyDeleteAnnette - I think you did an excellent job incorporating all of the beads into your necklace. The result is very pretty. The copper components by Sharyl McMillian Nelson (Sharyl's Jewelry on Artfire) really add flair. Thanks for participating in the hop! _
