Blu Mudd Design Challenge
I had the pleasure of being a participant in the Blu Mudd Design Challenge 5. Moriah Betterly a very talented clay artist furnished each artist with a leaf cuff, acorn and 3 matching tubular beads. There were different color pallets, randomly mailed to the artists so the color choices were by surprise! I love surprises! My pieces were green, red with the tiniest hint of blue....well here let me show you. (The photo will enlarge if you click on it :) Leaf & Acorn Challenge 5 Vote for me here :) I purchased complimentary beads from my local bead shop "The Bead Strand" in Ocala, FL. For my design I chose Miyuki 8/0 seed beads in 4 colors. 3 in different hues in Picasso seed beads, and a deep reddish hue matte seed bead. The colors in the seed beads seemed to be from the same glaze Moriah used on the leaf. I thought the beads complimented the leaf so well I had to use them. I chose to create my necklace using a spiral herringbone stitch. Please click on t
