don't know why

the entire set wasn't shown, but here it is

The Ice Queen cometh!

18 large beads at each juncture; 9 on either side of the 8o delica juncture. 17 junctures for the bracelet, 32 for the necklace..not as heavy as it looks, either, and lots of bling! Click on any pic to make it full size.

More Holiday Cheer

We began this pattern at the November Bead Retreat, and while I had finished one leaf there for earrings, was stumped as to what to do about the necklace. The original pattern called for much more space between the leaves, and only 5-9 leaves total- not near enough bling or interest for me! AND the leaves were all one color...I wanted a holiday look that could be worn to the concerts at the new CHS Theatre and at WCU for the NC Symphony Concert December 11. I am happy with all but the clasp, and will be redoing that portion into a beaded circle and toggle, with drops of Swarovski 3 and 4mm bicones. Now to find the perfect outfit to match LOL!

stuff done since march 09
