Flower

It seems every time I sit down to bead I create something with a flower in it. These flowers took an hour and a half each to make. I hope you like it :)

The Necklace That Took Three Days

   I have been working on this necklace for the last three days and it's finally complete and ready to share. I just finished it and it's a little after 10 pm., but I couldn't wait until morning to take pictures I'm to excited to share it with you so please excuse the poorly lit photos. I really like this necklace a lot. :) It would seem I'm a little addicted to including flowers in my necklaces though I just think there so fun and girly. I hope you like it as much as I do!

How gorgeous is that 27mm Swarovski crystal!? It sparkles like nobodies business. I have them in four other colors too. I had six but two of them have been put to work already :) I really hope to get the time (and money) to start beading again I've been making a necklace here and there for awhile, but I haven't been beading as much as I use to. I think part of that is that the pieces I have been making are way more time consuming than my older ones were. I really want to make a big (maybe a bit overdone) necklace like the ones people make as show piece that they enter into contest like at bead and button and things like that. I'm not sure why I have the urge to do that because those kinds of pieces take a LOT of time a LOT of beads and a LOT of work for a necklace that probably won't get to be worn very often. I really have no attention span either which is probably why the above necklace took me three days to finish I kept picking it up and sitting it back down after doing one or two pieces of it. Although for my benefit it does take me four to six hours to do just a plain netted necklace and that's going nonstop until I finish it. I don't know it's just an idea first I have to figure out what it is I want to make :)

It's Official

It's official I'm obsessed with making little beaded flowers :) I'm super proud of these in particular because I came up with the pattern all on my own :D I made a few into earrings and a couple into necklaces. I really like how they turned out. Please let me know what you think :) Oh and please excuse my foot for making an appearance in some of the photos ha ha.

I hope you like them as much as I do :)
