"A Place for all Beaders to Showcase their Creations."

My finished piece

Okay, I know a lot of people have been waiting for this. Here is my completed piece for the Use the Muse contest. I did not win, but I am happy with what I did. This is only my second bead embroidered necklace.

You did a very nice job especially this being only your 2nd bead embroidery necklace! I love how you made the crystals into flowers, never thought of doing that. Wear it with pride and keep up the good work.

Beadily yours

Very nice stitching and I think your colors worked really well. Your poly clay cab fits in so well. Thanks for sharing!; ▶ Reply to This

Intentional or not, the focal area resembles a silly frog face with dragonfly wing eyes, the detail on the beadwork is lovely, and I think the butterfly is showcased perfectly~ a free spirit just hanging out with her peeps. Well Done, Cat!; ▶ Reply to This

Chris, the center piece is a polymer clay cabachon that I made. The butterfly comes from Artbeads.com; ▶ Reply to This
