A New Necklace

Besides being quite sick with a cold/flu virus I have been busy beading. I created this pretty necklace from Bead and Button subscriber tutorials and I really like how it turned out.

New Tutorial - Sweetheart

Hi
I just created a new tutorial in peyote. It is designed with the latest colors. This color is Strawberry Ice with touches of orange and Marsala.

Happy Valentine's Day!

More February Challenges

I just found out from a great group, Beadwork Mentoring that I will be also learning more on bezeled cabs. February should be a fun month!

I think I will break each day down and try and work on different challenges.

February Ideas

Well it is Wednesday already and the end of January. Spring is coming and I cannot wait! I like the rain because you do not have to shovel it. :)

I have been thinking of February and what will I stitch? What do I want to learn more about this month? What colors do I want to play with?

I'm pretty sure for part of the month I will be working on Valentine Tuts and possibly the brick stitch.

I'm going to concentrate on the herringbone stitch as I want to learn all that I can on this stitch. Not only do I find it a pretty stitch but I know there is quite a bit I can learn about it. I know the basics and I have worked advanced in this stitch. Now to spread my wings.

Color tends to be obvious this month. Reds and pinks but as I said a bit before I'm going to be working with a new color called "Strawberry Ice".

Here are a few links on herringbone if your interested in working along with me.

Yes I am now about to design my necklace named Marsala

Check back often for more free tutorials.

Today while surfing for Pantone's colors I came across a monthly challenge by Fusion Beads. So I will be following their colors monthly. This month's color is Marsala. It is a rich burgandy. So my next jewelry post will be using my burgandy's. I found some garnet gemstones I had and added more beads to come up with a palette. This is it! What do you think?
