Blu Mudd Challenge #6

Good Day everyone!  I hope all of you are beading away happily!  I have recently been beading for Blu Mudd Challenge #6.  It was a black and white challenge this go round.  We have an wonderful array of eye candy to view at the link so please by all means click the link.  Please take the time to view each and every submission individually, choose "like"as many times as you like to vote for your favorites!  You won't be disappointed !!!

Here are some photos of my personal submission:


For my first piece I chose a pattern "Lady Sybil" by Sandra Scholte.  I ended up deviating from the pattern and going my own way with it.  But it was her pattern that got me started and inspired the look of the entire piece.  You can purchase her patterns on Etsy here Trinkets Beadwork she has amazing patterns from which to choose!!  For my 2nd piece I chose to learn a new stitch, Chenielle Stitch.  It works up lovely, quick and easy.  I am going to use this new stitch over & over!!

I hope you enjoy viewing everyone's challenge pieces they all worked hard and they are all very talented women.

    Your pieces are lovely, Judy. Black and white combos are very classic but a challenge at times to create a truly unique and beautiful piece . . . you met that challenge perfectly.
    Isn't the chenille fun ? It's one of my favorite stitches too.
    Also a big thank you for the link to Sandra's etsy shop, her patterns are amazing.

Bead Soup Blog Party Reveal

It was my pleasure to be partnered with Jean A. Wells please be sure to check out her blog for some amazing pieces! Jean sent me some lovely ingredients for my soup. Here is her winning recipe. 1 handmade pendant created by the very talented Kylie Parry , 25 Brown Sugar beads, 1Fancy Floral Clasp, 1 Green Jasper Nugget, 6 10 mm wood roundelles, 2 Green Picasso Czech Bicone Beads, 5 Dark Forest Porcelain Beads by Ingrid, 8 8mm Fire Polish Topaz Beads and 8 8mm Topaz Crackle Beads. Here is what I created using her recipe. I hope you enjoy it. First for the bracelet here I drilled a second hole in the pendant made by Kylie Parry, I made a copper spiral which I then covered with some lovely fiber that is meant to be doll hair. I did a right angle weave with an assortment of the beads from my soup along with some Czech fire polish from my own collection. I made a little pair of earrings to match shown further below. The bracelet below was created with beads from the soup with the additi...

I am really happy to be a part of this challenge hosted by Sally Russick. Please visit her blog at The Studio Sublime Normally my work tends to be in contrasting color schemes rather than monochromatic shcemes. I enjoyed the challenge of creating a piece in varying shades of ORANGE!! I,love Orange it shouts out loud! What's your favorite crayon color? Be sure to look for your favorite color on Sally's blog where you will find a lot of very talented artists for your blog hopping pleasure! I call this "out of the swamp" any members of the "Gator Nation" out there? Since I used rather generic findings for the clasp, I dressed it up with a little Gator. The faceted rondelles were purchased from Lydia at Beedtime Bead Shop here in Ocala. The Preciosa crystals were acquired at Birdsong Beads in Andrews, NC on one of out many trips up to Murphy. There was no pattern for this bracelet, I just started beading in a right angle weave sort of way with some additi...
