New Leaf Blue Leaf

Bigger Photo

About this design:

So I got a couple of these ceramic leaf pendants for $1.00 each. (I want more) Then I got the cool silver leaves on sale cheap. So into the stash of things you've all seen before.

(I'm going to be really sad when the little aqua glass cube beads run out. They are the perfect little beachy look bead. I have 1 string left and Wally World doesn't have them anymore.)

Components:

Aqua ceramic leaf pendant. Teal glass pearls (wire wrapped). Teal glass beads. Aqua cube glass beads. Large white seed beads. ToHo seed beads in aqua, clear frosted aqua, white pearl. Silver leaves. Silver spacer beads. Silver toggle. Brown S-lon cord.

Cool!!! Great asymmetry. I like the triple spots and, of course, the leaf & pearl dangles.

Deb Harding says:

I love an enthusiastic Becky comment! LOL!
Actually the one I meant was the brown wood one. Since that and the wood bracelets are what I’m taking with me to that shop. Plus various braided wrap bracelets I’m making with a box of beads I bought 10 years ago and some tiny marbled beads from torn apart twist necklaces. They are ceramic beads from Peru…fish, turtle, tube shapes.

Deb Harding says:

Just to clarify…I did not go to Peru. I got the beads when I belonged to a craft vook club. I wish I had gone to Peru!

Deb, it’s wonderful, fun, cool, awesome Love how organised your stach are! I’m right now going mad at mine, need to organize…
On Jan 23, 2013 at 5:02 pm #
Deb Harding says:

I got lots of those organizer boxes. Small ones for specific things and larger ones. I cant think if stuff is all over. Like I said some of those boxes are beads from at leat 10 years ago. They have been in my attic since 2007 and were packed 2 years before I.moved here.

No its S-Lon. That stuff is slippery. Slides right out of braids but its.pretty durable.

T Paul says:

Oh so pretty! And the pendant for $1.00??!! And btw wish my beads looked that organized
On Jan 24, 2013 at 12:41 pm #
Deb Harding says:

Yep pendant was $1.00. I got 2…there was another one that was a peachy color. Wish I had gotten it now. The “organized” beads are not ones I play with every day. The ones i play with are a little less organized unfortunately. I do try to put everything back in its organizer once a week or put unfinished projects/beads in little ziplock bags. If only my house were as straight .
