These beads are so far out of my comfort zone. I work mostly with silver and gemstones, so I really had to get a feel for the beads. I can say, after a few minutes, I was totally in love. They are so fun and colorful and playful, I was having a blast! I started with this wonderful focal, and designed around it. Little did she know that a daisy reminds me of my mom, so this focal was speaking to me the minute I got it!
Rebekah was very generous with the beads so I was able to make a long necklace, bracelet and earrings. I still have a few beads left, but I have this incredible set now!
I hope you enjoy the pictures, please make sure to leave a comment, as I will be doing a giveaway of a special piece of jewelry on March 15th, the drawing will be from all comments left on this post!
