Here are a few pieces I have been working on over the past few weeks.
This is a gorgeous pendant using Marcie Abney's "Looking Glass" pendant tutorial.
I made this for my gorgeous friend, Jess, for her 21st birthday.
Her favourite colours are hot pink and turquoise.
This is such a quick and easy pendant to create and really does make a lovely gift.

This is my Earthly Hues piece from Beading Babes - Project 2.
You might recall that I ran out of beads when making this piece so I wasn't able to complete the piece in time for the reveal on 5 December.
The round beads are Ocean Jasper - one of my favourite stones, and I've used Matte Metallic Khaki Iris cubes and round beads.
I found this piece relatively easy to make with the fiddliest part being the pendant. I found I had to go through the beads several times to hold the piece together nicely as mine was sitting too loosely.
Overall I am pretty pleased with the final result and love the mix of earthy colours.

I am currently going through issues of Beadwork and Bead and Button magazine choosing the pieces for Project 3 of Beading Babes.
Two pieces will be selected again, but remember you do not need to create both.
I will be posting the details up in the next day or two and will then give you a couple of days to vote on your favourite two.
Watch this space!
