She Made~She Made is BACK!!! (with a touch of Sari Monday)

Therese and I are back :-D  She was kind enough to accommodate my need to slow down for the summer.  Thanks Friend :-)  You are so easy-going with me.  I love ya!


I sent Therese a photo on my cell phone of this month's selection.  Last Friday, my phone informed me that its memory was full and so I started dumping stuff off it.  My phone is shaky at best lately, but that is a whole other stressful topic.  So before I could post it here, I dumped the photo I sent Therese.  But it was of orange glass beads I picked up at Nawbin's Beads in Traverse City, Michigan and jade donuts Therese shared with me.

I combined them to make this pendant, hung on recycled sari ribbon from (you guessed it!) Darn Good Yarn :

I originally had two size 15 seed beads on either side of that center orange bead, but at the last second decided it needed a touch of movement.  So I swallowed hard and broke the beads, knowing full well the thread might break and i would have to make this piece all over again.  The Powers That Bead were with me at that moment...whew!






I had a lot of orange beads left and decided to go bright, so here is what came next:

(my model needs a shirt without that neck seam)

All glass beads!  This is what Fall looks like around here these days~bright orange, bright red, yellow  and bright blue sky!









Please go see what Therese made.
