Good Morning ☀️!! I hope you all have had a wonderful week-I know that I have had an amazing week!! I finished up a few WIP’s this week and have even started a new one today!! This week I did something a little different and one of my WIPs is actually a beadalong I did with my private club(K-Max Klub)…it went very well I think and it might be something I do again next week😉. This week I’ll be showing you all the WIPs I finished and have started-talking a little about each and then show you then New listing I have as well as the available kits in my shop.
Let’s start off with the 5×7 Art in a bag sample for April-the Hummingbird! I started this lovely hummingbird last week and I can’t believe how real-like this hummingbird looks-it seems like it was almost painted on 😃. Monday, if you recall, I started the day out with 185 rows & 8,510 beads completed…almost done!!! Well, lucky enough, by mid-day Monday I was able to finish this little beauty…all 200 rows and 9,200 beads of it!! I just love how well this pattern turned out-hummingbirds are very special to me in lieu of my grandmother!! Hope you like it as much as I do😃.
So, you all know that when I finish one creation, I get to pull out and start another one!! Well this week I decided to do something different and do a beadalong with my private group K~Max Klub!! I started it before hand to see how it would go and by Wednesday I had the pattern up and everyone that wanted to join from this group could join in and beadalong. It is something similar to what some of you might have seen…it just is smaller and set up for a bracelet instead of an Art…it is the Silhouette!! Now all anyone needed to do this was be a part of my group and have 2 colors of Delica beads…I used a rainbow cream(db157) for my background and a red color(db378). So far some of the colorings I’ve seen are very interesting and pretty to see!! I can’t wait to see everyone’s when they are done. I was able to finish mine up last night and today is the last segment of rows I posted for the group…we’ll have to wait and see how everyone else’s comes out😉. When I can get this beauty photographed, it will be put up as a new listing😃.
Since I was able to finish that creation….I got to start another new WIP this morning!! It is a striking round, blue, cab that I decided to do something a little different to!! You’ll have to wait to see the pictures to see what I did😉. So far, I have pulled out the colors I’ll be using( a cream-ivory color, a bronzy color, and a light blue color) and have started the first few rounds of the bezel….and have added that something special to the back of the cab!! So, let’s get a start on this WIP and see how far I can get…REMEMBER, that you can check out my Facebook Fan Page, Google+ Page, or my Instagram Page throughout the day to watch updates and working photos!
Time to show you guys the New listing of the week!! Any guesses?!?! If you guessed the 5×7 Art Hummingbird Sample for April…you are right!! As I have mentioned before, hummingbirds are something special for me…they were my grandmother’s favorite…and every time I see one I think of her…I think she would have loved this beautiful, paint like, rendition of a hummingbird-I know I do!! It is a 5×7 Art mounted on a 5×7 canvas and it is ready to hang up if you choose to😃. This beautiful art would make an awesome gift or even art decoration for your own home or office…don’t forget, if you love creating art and live beading…this is also available in kit form this month!!
