I thought I would show you how I am using the beads previously shown earlier this month on my blog. This purple & green pendant piece will match my new purple sweater I bought last week.
Here is the beaded jewelry piece created so far:
It still has a ways to go, but I like how it is shaping up. The way I work is to keep working the piece using alternating colors, until the freeform beading “feels” right. It is an intuitive process.
I promise to reveal how it turns out in the end. I am looking forward to wearing it soon. Anyone want to create a freeform jewelry piece, too? I do have a free tutorial if you click the “Free Tutorial” link above or on the right sidebar.
Take care, Carla
Hmmmm…. notice the bead colors match my new blog header? I must be in a green and purple frame of mind lately!
That is going to be stunning Carla – Will check out the tutorial…but as you know I am never lucky with my time
It’s gorgeous!!
Carla,
That is just the prettiest pendant! I too like purple and green together, a fact that my many quilts will attest to. Could not find the tutorial, but since I’m up to my eyebrows in quilts, I would have time to make one any way. Thanks for inspiring us with your many beautiful projects, both beading and quilting. Any boating adventures lately?
Purple and green are my favorite colors! You’re off to a beautiful start!
I don’t have time to check out the tutorial since I’m up to my eyeballs in projects I need to get done, but I would love to see the end result!
