Pine Ridge Ceramic Blog Hop

Today is the reveal for the Pine Ridge Ceramic Blog hop, sponsored by Lisa Lodge.  When I saw this picture with all the bight spring colors, I was thrilled to welcome spring at last. You all know how I love my color.So I just had to be part of this hop. Since everything is randomly picked I had no cause to worry the picture was full of color.  However, when I received my kit it was brown. Don't get me wrong gorgeous brown Jasper, a Pretty Ceramic with a lacey pattern from grubbi, rondells, clasp, a strand of white glass pearls but everything else brown.  This is what I received in my kit


Always up for a challenge, first a pair of Jasper wire wrapped teardrop earrings

Art Bead Scene August Challenge

This months challenge come from a Wool woven Rug by Hosteen Klah titled Summer Thunder. Using Red as a design element in my Jewelry is not my strong point.  I use it almost like, Never. Lol that being said, I attended Beadfest this year and went straight to Artisan Alley where all the Handmade components, Jewelry and Artisans are.  I found the perfect Colored Ceramic focal by Artisan Lisa Peter's

A Nice Chunky focal 2 X 2 inches.  I wire wrapped and attached some nice Smoky Quartz for the neck chain along with some red sea glass from Znet shows I had in my stash.

Lately I seem to be having issues uploading my pictures.  They upload backwards, upside down, rightside left, I apologise.  I'm trying to meet the deadline for the Challenge and will continue to try and get better pictures.  I so wanted you to see this lovely chunky Necklace.  Not sure I'm going to keep that Tassel. A drop might do better, we will see.   Jump over to    http://artbeadscene.blogspot.com   to see what other contributors have created.  Thanks for stopping by.
