THIRD ANNUAL OCTOBERFEST BLOG HOP

Welcome to the third annual Autumn Splendor Blog Hop.  This Hop is Brought to you Courtesy of Toltec Jewels our Hostess from Jewel School Friends.  Rita inspite of her many challenges this month was never wavering in her support of the artist and we are all here supporting her.  Three Cheers For Rita!!  This is my first time participating, but I love hops.  October brings a new season of colors with the changing of the leaves.  The cool winds blow the leaves in the air floating and swirling to the ground.  I see Oranges, Browns, Yellow and Green.  I wanted to capture the tree in a bead, but alas it was not meant to be.

I just couldn't capture the essence in my polymer so I caned that design instead because after all the colors were right.
I made this gorgeous focal shaped like a leaf wire wrapped it and made matching beads 

I then made earrings and a Necklace.


I also did a strung set of beads feauring the Browns and Green of Autumn with matching earrings


Hope you enjoyed the eye candy.  Please hop around
