Monday Moodboard - Green, Brown & Cream

This week's Monday Moodboard is a yummy combination of Green, brown and cream. Don't forget that you can use the images themselves, taking inspiration from the shapes and textures...

Jennifer's Necklace

Hi, just a quick update on this week's Monday Moodboard. Jennifer Airs made this wonderful necklace with our yellow and grey theme. It's a fossil coral cab, encased in herringbone with two differently worked straps and a toning button. Jennifer, it's gorgeous! Thank you so much joining in with us this week :)

Wednesday's Wear It Or Frog It

Delving into my jewellery box this morning I found this necklace I made some time ago. It hasn't had much of an outing since I made it, I have no idea why! I don't really do much with netting stitches but I remember that I enjoyed making this and it's much simpler to do than it looks. It's a Sandra Halpenny design which you can find for free here.


Definitely not one to frog, I'm wearing this when I go shopping this afternoon :)

Another piece of jewellery inspired by our recent rainbow themed Monday Moodboard, Clair made this fab choker from safety pins, seed beads and a length of ribbon.

Monday Moodboard - Yellow and Grey

Welcome to the Monday Moodboard challenge! This week we have a slightly more unusual colour scheme for you to try, yellow and grey. Personally I love using grey beads but I've never tried combining them with yellow, so it'll be interesting to see what everyone comes up with for this challenge. There are many shades of yellow from zesty lemon to muted mustard and don't forget to use the textures, shapes and images from the mosaic for your inspiration.

We would love to see what you create using this moodboard and you can send your photos to me at liz@thecrimsonmoon.co.uk or add them to our Flickr group pool. Happy beading!

Maria's Rainbow Earrings

It's never too late to send in a photo for one of our challenges. A few weeks ago we had a rainbow theme and Maria has made these wonderful daisy chain earrings using seed beads. I love how they meander gently, as Maria says, just as life does.
