Sand & Sea Blog Hop

First and foremost my apologies for being late. All participants were each mailed a soup of beads that represented Sand or Sea. You may or may not remember I received and blogged earlier on my Sand which is shades of brown totally took me out of my comfort zone, but the fantastic bead shapes that I received I loved. So many beads and sizes I didn't just want to string them so dangles and a double stringing. I chose the solitary curved bugle bead for my focal and wired it with some of the seed beads. I wired seed beads onto head pins and began making chain and dangles.To my dangles I then added double lengths of wire stringing bead groups adding a clasp and a Necklace was Born.  I hope you enjoy seeing it as much as I enjoyed creating it.

My Bead Table Blog Hop II Sand & Sea

My Bead Table Blog Hop Sand & Sea is being sponsored om March 12th by Lisa Lodge.  Each Artist, snd I believe there are 20, not sure, recieved a Stash of beads from Lisa representing the Sand or the Sea. We are to create a piece(s) using all of the stash mailed to us but not any of our own stash unless it happened to be on our table. lol.  O course I can't reveal my project yet, but I can show you my stash I recieved, I believe that it represents Sand:

Thank you so much for stopping by.  I hope to see you on the 12th for the Reveal.
