I might have to put down my polymer for a bit when your tutorial comes out. ;-) Isn't it so true when you really follow what a bead is "meant" for that the design always turns out so wonderfully? You nailed this one!Rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00899414809146265629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041495809860773419.post-91353221706605226792014-02-02T07:18:02.802-06:002014-02-02T07:18:02.802-06:00Ilove it and your journey to complete itIlove it and your journey to complete itAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06000223877502634308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041495809860773419.post-38100339449818716202014-02-01T11:13:15.099-06:002014-02-01T11:13:15.099-06:00Kristi- Thanks!

I actually kept trying to add more color (as I do love me some color), but the elegance of the piece kept steering me back to a simple palette. I think it was the right move.

And I am excited to see the tuts, excited that it inspired you to take it all a step further. I knew it might be a challenge - as it does have lots going on - but you have designed a gorgeous cohesive piece. Thank you so much! for everything...

Funny thing is I was considering something similar with dangles in a shorter strand similar to what you did, but couldn't decide what to use. Now I'm glad I didn't. GORGEOUS! Thanks for reading AJE and participating in the challenge.
