Bead Hop and Swap Final Piece

Okay so I admit it, I am a last minuter!  I got the idea, but execution was totally lacking.  There is nothing worse than having the idea and not being able to execute it.

I love the show piece! The picture doe NOT do it justice, the colors just don’t come thru.

However, I gave it my all.  This is what I started from, from my awesome partner Linda Anderson at fromthbeadboard.blogspot.com (love her and her site)….

and the BEAUTIFUL show piece from https://www.etsy.com/shop/PennysLane

Linda was a great parnter.  I was very intimidate by an administrator as a partner, but she was a Rock Star partner, patient and even going over and beyond when I was going into labor, I couldn’t have asked for a better partner!!! Plus she sent me great stuff! I was overwhelmed and wanted to put most of it in one piece, but that would be overkill, especially with the range of things she sent me.  I can develop my skills and try some new things I have never done.

I have never worked with polymer clay.  I was really impressed with the piece!  The color is very irradesent, I really love it!

So this is what I came up with….

I loved trying something new and this bead hop was great!

Excited to see everyones pieces
