First, I would like to remind you what have I received from my partner Palak Udeshi (motidana):
A very generous bead soup, as you can see, and I definitely didn't use all of the beads that Palak sent to me, just a bit of them.
First I put my eyes on the gorgeous glass pendant. I've tried several combinations, but at the end I prefered the most simple one - with several strands of green beads from my soup. All the embelishments seemed superfluous, because the pendant is so striking by itself. For the clasp I've used a copper button.
The pendant has a loop at the top of the back side and when you wear the necklace, it seats exactly in the valley between the collarbones, so it's very confortable to wear!
Next I tried to use the seed beads and make a wide finger band with a ramdom pattern from 3 different colours of beads.
Doing this I've discovered two things. First, my sight for the tiny parts it's getting worse. "My arms are getting too short", as we say in Slovenia ... and usually it happens when you pass your 40's ... khm, khm ... What can I say, being there ...
And second, my brain doesn't really like random, it's much more happier when I follow a pattern or a scheme. That's why the band is two sided: when you turn it on the finger, there's another, more geometrical pattern.
My last piece is a pair of earrings:
Well, I hope you enjoyed my reveal and please take a look at my partner's Palak Udeshi's blog to see, what has she created with the bead soup that I've sent her - here!
All the links to the creations of all the other participants are available on the blog post by our hostess Lori Anderson - at the end of her reveal post:
Be well,
Alenka
