Beading Babes
It's reveal day for me again. This time as a challenge from Karyn at Releases by Rufydoof. Since I let myself be unbelievably distracted by the blog hop for the Bead Soup I forgot to even find this piece. I must say that my new attempt to make simple jewelry for my t-shirt and jeans lifestyle had me try 6 different stitches for the chain before I was happy with it. Though it looks simple it was a lot of work making it simple. I think if I'd continued the pattern it would have been much easier, but it'd have been yet another piece I'd never wear. Oh and I threw together a set of earring using my favorite beading pattern and the beads for this project. I love them together! I wish I wasn't having a self-conscious day because they look amazing on. Well here they are:
Pattern found in December 2011 issue of Bead & Button magazine. Ravishing Rosettes pattern designed by Smadar Grossman (page 38).

ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I want this to wear with my jeans and t-shirts. You should be so proud! Wear them and forget about being self-conscious.
ReplyDeleteGinger, that is a beautiful necklace!! I am truly in awe of your skills!!
ReplyDeleteWow - stunning colors and impeccable work!
ReplyDeleteWell done for finishing Ravishing Rosettes! I absolutely love your colour choice. I love the way you have finished off the necklace... I couldn't see myself making any more rosettes so I turned mine into a bracelet but I love your idea!
ReplyDeleteI can't copy and paste your images to post on my blog with everyone else's pieces so if you can please email me a picture of your necklace I'll add it to the post.
Thanks so much for taking part and hopefully we will see you for Project 4!

Beautiful necklace and delicius earrings^_^
ReplyDeleteWow.... simply gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love your color combination .. those beads are just wonderful! I love the way you finished the necklace.
ReplyDeleteThose are gorgeous! I think I'm going to have to find out about beadbabes, it sounds like fun. AND, I'm waaaay jealous that you have greenery at this time of the year LOL!
ReplyDeleteI live on a sub-tropical island in the south Pacific I have greenery any time of year.
DeleteThat is so incredible! I have such respect for seed beaders and the work they do - and yours is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful necklace! The color combination is gorgeous, and it looks like it would go with just about any outfit!
ReplyDeleteI love your version! You handled this challenge really great
ReplyDeleteI'm a stringer and I am challenging myself to learn this sort of work. Love the bead choices! The green iris beads are what got me into beading again from an old college "dabbling". I'm debating on trying this pattern. Would you say it is simple enough for a beginner?
ReplyDeleteI wish I could say yes, but it wasn't for me. Usually the 3-4 repeat I can stop looking at the pattern, but I followed this one every time. Flipping the pages back and forth. If you love following directions though who knows it could very well turn out better than the one in the magazine. I'd never tell anyone not to try. It just wasn't easy for me.
DeleteLooks really great....I love yours so much better than the one in the magazine :)

ReplyDeleteSee you at the reveal!
