Today’s Bead Table Wednesday is doing double duty as a my submission for the Halcraft Pretty Palette Challenge for September.
Here are the beads Molly sent me for the challenge. I love these colors but went for the more subtle hues in the collection and saved the turquoise wood beads and purple seed beads for another project.
I created wire links and embellised them with dangles with pearls, Czech glass and stones from Halcraft. I added in some turquoise flowers to bring in the color from the challenge.
My focal element is a large copper gingko leave that I created accents by a Green Girl Studio pewter butterfly. I used one of my branches lentil beads and two butterfly wing disk beads in my necklace too.
You can watch the video here and to see how I created the wire links in the necklace.
