Family Challenge W/ KayzKreationz!

A month ago, my daughter's mother-in-law, KayzKreationz, & myself decided to challenge ourselves to our own Blog Hop since we had so much fun with the Challenge of Color Blog Hop in November, 2012. 
Kay & I decided to use a color palette from design-seeds. Our choice is called Feathered Love. It's a beautiful palette.
 


We were suppose to get this posted by the end of January, but I'm running late with the post! I did, however, get my project done on time.

I decided to stitch seed beads, tube beads, crystals, & glass beads from the techniques I learned reviewing the book published by Kalmbach, Easy Crystal Stitching Sophisticated Jewelry by Nikia Angel.

My Project

I really like lariat style necklaces and wanted to see what I could do with stitching one. So I made the square components from the book & incorporated them into the necklace. I put my own twist on it! That was fun but a lot of stitching!

I used green/gray tube beads, orange flower glass beads, green glass beads & crystals, light green, dark green, gray, & light grayish/white seed beads of various sizes.







I hope you like what I created. Let me know what you think!

Kay combined this Family Challenge with another project she was working on; Vintage Lucite & Clay Blog Hop. Check out her blog and let us how we did!

  1. It's cute. I really like the way you incorporated all the colors. That bead stitching is way too much work for me. The lariat necklace turned out great.
