Use the Muse Contest




















Here are two photos of my entry in the Use the Muse Contest organized by Scarlet Lanson. I enjoyed making my piece as I had never used Filigree in my bead work. The Challenge kit came with many lovely swarovski crystals, pearls and tiny seed beads. I used my own size 6 and 8 seed beads for most of the bracelet and then used the small beads for more detailed decoration. You can view all of the entries in the Use the Muse and see the winners here.




Others that I know who are also in this contest are Lorelei, Melissa Lee , Christi Clothier and Andrew Thornton ( he won a prize).




Thank you Scarlet for doing the contest. I really enjoyed making my piece.



Below are some close up shots and a different view so that you can see the vinatage button and how I clasped the bracelet.

  5. I knew it would be pretty with the clasp, but it's even lovelier than I pictured it in my mind. Your beadweaving is so even! Mine (on the rare occasion I do any) is sometimes a little slanted ... Your craftsmanship shows!
