1st Goal for July Complete! Sarah

Back in June I posted that I wanted to make a statement necklace with some Vintaj components and these lovely white and bronze beads that I rescued from a half made necklace. As I was working the soft colours whispered rather than shouted so I decided against a large statement necklace and instead decided to play to the vintage feel of the components. I started by making some wrapped loop links with the bronze beads and joined them with jump rings, but that wasn't quite right so I made little love knots to join the links instead. I wanted the focus to be at the front so I added pre-made chain to the sides and made a large ruffly flower in circular netting for the focal. I am quite happy with it, but still want to make a statement necklace!

Bead Stash Beaded Eggs...

With Easter almost on it's way I wanted to be sure that I made some beaded eggs this year. So I thought what better way to use up some of my Bead Stash. I used the flower motif for one and added some daisies. The other is just free form. I do still want to make a few more before Easter if I find the time, but here's a couple of them for starters.
Guess what? I just realized that this is my third goal/project already completed in "Operation Tackle that Bead Stash"! It's actually coming along quite easy and pretty fast now and I'm so happy that I'm trying to tackle my Bead Stash and make beadiful and useful projects and pieces!
This evening I'm going to start on another cabochon, I wonder what I'll come up with this time. I had found I had quite a few topaz colors and I want to use as many up as I can of those this evening.




I hope that you have a wonderful rest of your day, thanks for stopping in! So until next time please don't forget, "Operation Tackle that Bead Stash" and Bead Happy!
Hugs and happy beading...
Bobbi
