And this is what I made with it ~ another month of full on Color!
I Bead EMBROIDERED with a lot of help from Cynthia!!!
This piece will be doing double duty and will be in mine and Therese's A Time To Stitch 7 Hop as well. Because I am getting as much mileage as I can out of ANY DARN THING I embroider.
The chain is oranges, green, blue, blue and gold.
The glass cab is compliments of Cynthia. I am really happy with how this little beauty came out. I see the benefits of knowing how to embroider but it is not something I love. But I really needed to do it for Therese's month :-)

I LOVE how this turned out Christine! That piece of glass reminds me of a piece of hard candy, which is perfect for Therese's theme this month! and I love how those dark greens set off the vivid orange of the glass ... pulling out those stripes! awesome bead embroidery my friend!!
Beautiful - it truly looks like a butterfly wing! I love you tried a new technique, and you did it so well, as usual. Love the colourful combination too - the whole piece looks like candy and goes perfect with the candy store I saw yesterday! :)
Your embroidery looks great and the necklace is beautiful!! I love the cab and the colors in the necklace are wonderful with it! It's a very happy summer necklace!!
Hope you're having some nice summer weather! We are.
Yay Christine you survived bead embroidery! I love your necklace so bright and pretty a true Tutti Fruity necklace. The splash of blue brings all the colors together Love, love, love it. I am glad Cynthia was able to lend a hand in guiding you through the process together you did an awesome job.

This is pure YUM, Christine! The colours are making me hungry LOL I love your beautiful reflection of the inspiration photo :)
So colorful! I love what you have done with the orange cabochon. Very tutti-fruity!
Hi Christine, Kudos to you for doing bead embroidery. You did a wonderful job. Your necklace is beautiful.
I have no idea how you did this but so happy that you did ... it's a tuti -fruity marvel!
Great combination of embroidery and stringing. Your balance of colors is absolutely perfect, so joyful and vibrant. Someone is going to completely fall in love with that and every time they put it on it will make them smile.
You did it! Embroidery without trauma (or at least without lasting trauma)! And it turned out beautifully - a light little froth that perfectly captures spring and the freshness of the lantana. Hooray for you!
Your necklace is beautiful
HAHAHAHA! Oh, you love that {insert strand of curse words here!} bead embroidery!!! Christine, even though it isn't a go to stitch for you, you did a beautiful job!! This a tutti-fruitty beauty!
Hi! All your pieces have such a happy, joyous, feel to them I would never have guessed that bead embroidery is not your thing! Lovely stuff
