Colour Challenge and Blog Hop

I joined Erin Prais-Hintz who hosted a Challenge of Colour Blog Hop using colour palettes from Jessica Colaluca of Design Seeds. This is the first time I've joined and had fun.
The palette I was given is called Field Tones. I chose the colour group of Green. 





Here are the pieces I created using these colours. The large beads are Green Choroite and the others are ceramic and glass with silver Bali beads. Sorry the colours aren't as brilliant as I had hoped. I'm still learning to photograph my pieces and the lighting today was gloomy because of the rain. I kept getting a yellow tinge. I will be looking into lightbox ideas now for days like today.





This is what I made with the beads that Sharyl sent me. I made a cluster pendant and some earrings. I still have a few beads left to play with....Thank you again Sharyl, that was very sweet of you.




Here is the list of participants including a link to their blog, their colour palette choice. Stop by to see what everyone has created.


18 Tari Kahrs ~ Orange ~ Citrus Tones
35 CJ Bauschka ~ Teal ~ Teal Air
41 Jenni Connolly ~ Gray ~ Paw Tones

Bead Table Wednesday

I joined Erin Prais-Hintz who is hosting a Challenge of Colour Blog Hop using colour palettes from Jessica Colaluca of Design Seeds.
The palette I was given is called Field Tones. I chose the colour group of Green. 





I was surprised on Monday by some mail from Sharyl. Out of the blue she so kindly sent me some beads from my palette choice to play with. What a nice thing to do and I can't wait to start. Sharyl has also been busy setting up an online shop through ArtFire and don't forget to check out her SALE with Coupon



 There are 52 participants. Be sure to check back November 30th to see what everyone has created.

Winner of my Fall Colour Challenge

Liz aka Kipper Cat


 Liz made this beautiful focal for a necklace she is working on. She picked Emberglow from the colours I posted.

I love the delicate leaves she added to frame up the bottom.
Thank you again for playing along....

BTW 9/21 and Challenge Reminder

I have these beads out ready to go to finish off my piece for the Fall Colour Challenge I posted my blog at the beginning of the month.



If you'd like to play along, click on the colour button for the original post. You have until the end of the month. I'll then do a random draw for a bead grab bag :)

Fall Fashion Colour Challenge

I was out shopping today, which I dislike! But I did notice alot of window displays and all the wonderful colours for the Fall season. As I was walking I thought of how nice it would be to bead with some of these colours.

So I'm going to throw out a challenge to everyone. I've been having trouble with mojo as of late......so...If anyone would like to create a piece using a combination of the following colours (taken from Pantone), NOT all in one of course.....I'll do a random draw for a bead grab bag from my stash.




I'll keep this open until the end of September, knowing things are getting busy.

You just need to post a link of your finished piece so we can see in this post.

Have fun :)

My Beading Challenges

I've done a couple of beading challenges and my friend Lody has made these neat collage pages. She has showcased everyones entry.

The first was an Inspiration Challenge. You were to find something around the house to inspire your piece.
My entry is #2 and you can see I used Prima Flowers, still can't give up all the cardmaking habits :)



The second challenge was a colour combination and you can see again, I used scrapbooking bling for this :)




Lody keeps track of everything on her other blog where you can see a list of everyone.Lody's Beadworks Journey blog
