It has been what seems a long time coming but today is reveal day at last. These projects are exactly what I needed at a time when my life was turned up side down. Things have evened out and life is pretty much back to normal.....just in time to start hibernation.
I would have to say my favorite project this time around was the Four Points earring. They were so much fun to make and I have now developed a very healthy appetite for two hole seed beads. Love them. I made a pendant and bracelet to go with the earrings and they have become my go to set.
Next favorite although I made some adjustments is the Sari Pendant. It is so 3d and really stands out as a statement piece. Strung on pink sparkly ribbon takes it over the top!
The Succulent Garden Bracelet again featured two hole seed beads, my new favorite. I used two colors quite by accident but love how it turned out.
I love the petal earrings and have worn them a lot. Definitely statement earrings!
I struggled with the Radiant Pinwheel and just did not like how it was turning out. The pendant was too bulky and just looked odd to me. So with a little creative license I made it into what I liked, I find it much more wearable and a real eye catcher. Because of the detail I strung it on a simple Viking knit rope.
Last but not least is the Seed Bead Nova. I am not particularly crazy about this as a bracelet and I think I will turn it into a pendant. I love the design and think it would make a beautiful necklace. The earrings are gorgeous.
Thanks for stopping by. Thanks Karyn for organizing such a fun group!
I was unable to participate this go-round, as I am swamped with other obligations....but beautiful work! Always such fun to see the variation in the pieces.
ReplyDeleteYou did well, and were quite productive.
ReplyDeleteI like the petal earrings best.
The Radiant Pinwheel pattern looked really tricky;congrats for getting through it! I love what you have done with these designs and am glad that you are now a fan of two hole beads. They are fabulous and so versatile! Your color choices are lovely as well and I like that you made the supernova earrings, as they are awesome and have convinced me to make a pair. :D
ReplyDeleteWell done! I think my favorite is the Succulent garden bracelet, that two toned look is very striking!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Debbie, I love all of them and the colors you chose really make the pieces grand. Kudos to you for getting so many of the pieces done in Project 9. I only got two done, but that is better then none.
