Meeeeeeooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwww - Wolf Wolf
I recieved this lovely parcel as a gift from a very talented lampworker – Janet Prentice – and turned a couple of the beads into a bookmark just for me.
The fantastic gift

My bookmark

Now my children can’t make up there minds if the little animal is a Cat or a Dog – What do you think?
Here is Janet’s eBay shop – http://stores.ebay.com/Artisan-Lampwork-Jewelry-Raku-Vases - her vases are to die for.
and her Website – www.lampworkbydesign.com
She is an amazing artist.
Thank-you Janet for such a beautiful and generous gift. I will treasure these beads always.

An internet group I’m in has set a ~ Creative Color Combo Challenge ~ each participant is put into a team of 4 members and given a set of colors. Then between the team we have to choose 2 types of beads and the metal we want to use.
The bead choices were – Lampwork, Polymer Clay, Freshwater Pearls, Lucite, Gemstones, Czech Glass or Swarovski Crystals.
The metal choice is between – Silver, Gold, Pewter or Copper
So my team was given the Color Combo of Blue and Brown. We chose to use Czech Glass and Swarovski Crystal with Silver-Plated metals.
So this is what I’ve come up with…

I have used Smoked Topaz Swarovski Crystal bicones, Cobalt Czech Glass faceted rounds and Silver-plated metal beads. I’ve not used this color combo before and am quiet happy with the way this set turned out. Much prettier in reality.
I’ll list it once the challenge is finished.

I just love these beads – bright and funky Pink and Purple Polymer Clay
So I turned them in three sets of earrings using Vintage Lucite beads and Sterling Silver
