Star box finish

This was my beading birthday start this year and I finished it this morning.

Star box from Crystal Star Gems on Etsy.

With a tea light in

Hopefully this will work and you can see the flicker of the tea light

Marigold finish

Finished this afternoon my Birthday start from 2018.

Meet Marigold designed by Nora Corbett.  I stitched her on Champagne from Sparklies (website is still down) with the called for thread but I used best match on the beads using ones from my stash.

And here’s how she looked when I picked her up

I’ve been working on this in between a very large test bead (I’ll share when I can) to give me a break from it and it’s dark colours.

Really enjoyed this one although at times it’s been a pain in the proverbial to do!

Much better pic of the colours and a good view of the side panel

This is the decoration on the top and while I was working on it it crossed my mind that 3 corners of it would make a gorgeous pendant and then I could use a single corner to make earrings to match.  If I really wanted to tax my brain I could figure out how to make a bracelet as well!

Whether or not it actually ever happen remains to be seen
