Jewelry

Here is just a quick post of some jewelry I made this morning. I ordered some brass items from Vintaj to make some jewelry to sell. I really like what what was sent. I ordered lots of brass leaves, butterflies, ferns, etc. Great stuff and I just couldn't wait to dive in.

Also found this beutiful Luna moth on the porch yesterday morning. His wings were wet from the morning dew so he couldn't fly. About two hours later he was gone so he must of dried off and flew away (hopefully).

June Beaded Rock

Here is this month's beaded rock. I was beginning to have beader's block with this month's project (kind of like writer's block). I really couldn't decide what I wanted to do. So I googled abstract art and found a few images I liked and decided to go with this basic idea. I enjoy working with a lot of color so this pattern appealed to me. I wasn't sure if I wanted to outline the circles in black or just keep going out with color out to the very edge. I sometimes like to use black in my normal quilting because I like how black seems to make colors 'pop'. Well, as you can see, I decided on the black outline. If I ever do this pattern again, next time I will continue using color out to the edges just to see which one I actually like better.

I had a very cool visitor last night. He/she is a Polyphemus moth. He/she stayed awhile so I got to take a few pictures. In the morning it was gone so I'm hoping he/she found its way to someplace safe. Last year I had bunch of Luna moths on my porch. I am hoping to see more this year and I have been keeping my eye out for them.

 I hope everyone has a wonderfully creative week....  :)
