These newly discovered piggy beads are so much fun. I couldn't wait to make another color combo. Gold/brown/green toned version was from my last post - Scroll down for more of version #2. Spring versus Fall so to speak -- I've put them side by side in this first shot so you can see the difference color makes!
Plus, earrings to match of course...beaded puff beads using 2-hole super duos. These were from my March, 2014 posts. Love this pattern from SashaSi. It uses many beads, but the earrings are still light enough not to weight down your ear. Splash of color! They look beautiful on you Krissy!!!
Happy New Year to you all! May 2015 bring us all some happiness. I know there will be other stuff thrown in there too, cuz there always is, but as long as it is interspersed with happiness, and lots and lots of beading... Here's a new design by Vezsuzsi she calls P. Derrick. As I've mentioned before, not sure where these names come from. I just bead 'em as we learn 'em. Thanks Sandy Taylor for another wonderful class (it's just about as much about this family of friends--we have such a great time together!), at Eileen's Bead Street. Plus Eileen is getting these new piggy beads, and so many more wonderful new beads coming every week. I know, I know... but really, isn't this gorgeous?
You can even see the reflection of the trees overhead in this version. Ha! Trees with lots of limbs and no leaves that is.
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas Holiday! WE SURE DID - and with the December Christmas spirit came the birth of our third grandchild, a little girl, Lily Viola. What a wonderful feeling it is to have grandchildren. Truly, it is the best thing in the world. Three will be it for our little clan, and we are grateful for each of these little people. They bring us so many moments of incredible joy.
I'm ready to take on new challenges for the new year and of course my favorite bead shop, Bead Street, carries me on this journey... Here are a couple of new designs by Vezsuzsi -- the first pendant below she named the "Ohm". Is this beautiful or what? It uses the new piggy beads on the corners. I had an "ahhhhh" moment when I put those on and then added the rizos thereafter. It's such an incredible design. Some designers just have a gift and Vezsuzsi is one of my favorites. Thanks, Sandy Taylor for teaching these wonderful classes and being such an inspiration. :)
The second design by Vezsuzsi is below, named "Szirmos Misi". I have no idea where the names come from... but I'm sure that would be an interesting story in and of itself!
