After nearly a year of doing hardly any bead work I decided to reignite my creativity and love of beading by participating in a few challenges through out the year.
Up first are two delightfully fun and quirky necklaces I made for Art Jewelry Elements annual
"Buried Treasure aka Use Your Stash" challenge.
Sharon Peters lamp work cat bead and spacer beads, seed beads, copper spacer disks, and Swarovski crystals.
Sharon Peters lamp work cat bead, Czech pressed glass, Delicas, gold filled rounds, and Swarovski crystals.
The hardest part of this challenge was holding myself to the idea of using only beads, findings, and components that came from stash and not buying anything. Later in the year I might challenge myself to another round of beading with my own buried treasure.
