I'm on the Art Bead Scene!



Woo Hoo! I made this necklace a while ago for the "shows that didn't happen" this year. I decided to keep this one for myself because I love LeAnn's components so much! Just decided to submit to Art Bead Scene because one of my goals is to get better at things, and submitting is one of them! Yay! Thanks Heather!

Yep, I saw it. It's just gorgeous! I love the colors and textures.

I was hoping to participate in all the ABS challenges, but already January is half over and I don't even have a design idea.

Woo Hoo!! That necklace deserves to be recognized.
Beautiful design with really awesome components. Congrats on being the featured artist!
I think your New Year's resolution is a great one if it means you will get more visibility for creations like this. The combination of colors and textures is very soothing. Thanks for inspiring the rest of us!

Really pretty Sue! Love the color and textures and those stacked dumbell(?) beads are so cool!

Each beader was paired up with another jewelry designer and tasked with sending the following: ~ A focal ~ A special clasp (not just a lobster claw) ~ Some coordinating spacers or beads Using the focal and the clasp was mandatory, but we could use anything from our own stash to round out the rest, and choose to use the coordinating beads or not.

The Tacky Earring Blog Hop

Diana Ptaszynski had a great idea, instead of a Tacky Christmas Sweater blog hop, a Tacky Holiday Earring blog hop! I was on it.  I had ideas right away.  I had so many I had to control myself.  You can buy these for $15 each, too!  Here we go! I found these awesome wreaths in the miniature Christmas section in Michaels, and they go perfectly with silver and copper colored plastic beads! These trees were found in Michaels, on an end-cap - I assume they are scrapbook or card making supplies, but make fantastic earrings.  The holes were a little small and far down, so I had to make LARGE loops.  Paired these with cute little gold colored jingle bells! And, finally, the ones I had in my head the moment she announced the blog hop.  Dr. Seuss sparkly puff balls with ribbons.  The only thing that would have made these better for me is if I could have found the red ribbons I really wanted to pair these with - don't get me wrong, the silver is cool and all, but in my head they w
