Beading Babes Reveal!

I totally missed my Silent Sunday post... so here is Miss Cheyenne... the cause of that... she went through the fence on Saturday night around 10:30 pm... so I spent most of Sunday repairing a fence and treating wounds... nothing too major thank goodness!!!


Well we had two projects and extra time this month.... and I managed to get one project finished... I swear the Ravishing Rosettes pattern was hiding from me ... at least parts of it were!! Here is what I accomplished... I really like the pattern and the colors but I totally missed several steps!! I WILL be reworking this in the future though!
As you can see.. I'm missing one part altogether and it is curving in the complete wrong direction!! Ah well.. back to the beading board with it!
This is the Runway of Pearls bracelet that was our second project... I really liked the bracelet! But as I was adding the embellishment I noticed it was getting shorter.... and shorter... I ended up with it almost 2 inches too short!! So, I stared at it for a while.... and then came up with this idea... which my wonderful boss helped me wire up.. (wire and I don't get along too well right now)

This bracelet called for embellishing both sides but as it was shrinking as I went along, I ended up only embellishing the one side.. but it still turned out fairly well.. at least I think so!

I can't wait to see what the other Babes have worked up with this challenge!!!

    Your Runway of Pearls looks beautiful! I think it's great that you embellished one side of the bracelet. To tell you the truth, I felt like it was too bulky as it is intended to be! Those rosettes were a bit on the tough side!!!! You weren't alone in having trouble with them!

    I love how your Runway of Pearls turned out. Using that stone was genius. There was something about the rosettes that threw all of us for a loop. I'm still convinced that one of the diagrams has an extra bead.

    Ohhh I just realised my previous comment hasn't appeared for some reason...I love your bracelet and the way you featured the focal piece... I think it still looks nice too having only embellished one side.

    Ugghhh those Ravishing Rosettes... very frustrating!!

    Well done!
