Happy Sunday, Art Bead Sceners. It’s the start of a hugely busy 5 1/2 weeks of my life this weekend – buckle up and sit tight, wish me luck with my busy ride! Craft fairs, singing performances in London and the Lake District, more craft fairs……phew! I’m already tired, and I’m only 1.5 days in……
To keep my energy up, I’ll have to make sure I eat plenty of veggies…..not a problem here, with this cute necklace that Sarajo Wentling has shared with us, featuring one of Jade Scott’s gorgeous carrot pendants! Love it. Thank you sharing, Sarajo!
Elise Thomas also shared this lovely bouquet of lampwork flowers. Too sweet! Hop over to check them out if you have a minute. You won’t be disappointed!
Three weeks ago, I announced that we are changing up Show Me Sundays just a little – we don’t just want you to share art beads on a theme, but also a piece of jewellery you have created with art beads upon the theme of the month.
And to go along with Jade Scott’s copper and resin carrot, here’s another one that I found on etsy…..lampwork glass this time, from Belvedere.
So remember…..this week, I’d like you to share not only handmade beads, but also items of jewellery that YOU have created using art beads that fit the theme. I will select one item of jewellery to share, along with the art beads. You can share a blog link, an etsy link, a flickr link…..whatever works for you! NB The jewellery MUST contain art beads that fit the theme………there’s your challenge for the week! They can be your art beads or another’s – they’ve just got to be in there!
The theme for this month is food, but I’d like to expand on this. Things that grow in the earth. Flora, rather than Fauna, if you get my meaning! So food stuffs, but also plants, wildlife…..let’s push the envelope with this one.
So get looking for your jewellery featuring food-y or plantlife art beads! As well as any beads you spy out there. It’s good to share!
And here are the Bead Blogger Links. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
