I decided to participate in this latest Blog Hop by our Evil Master Mind/Author/Blogger/Host of our face book group "Bead Soup Cafe ~ Lori Anderson, because I was not feeling all that creative and my little life has been in a bit of a tail spin these days.
Not only would it bring attention to my little stash, but I had very high hopes that this would break my "Beader's Block" so I can make some sparkle money to buy more sparkles.....oh and pay a bill too! !lol!
Well if you checked out my post yesterday It has been like pulling teeth around here in the "Creativity Department" ugh...!
Well last night/this morning I found some inspiration from ....! KUNGFU PANDA! Yes ladies and gentlemen I said !KUNGFU PANDA! Mr. Po ~ Dragon Lord himself!
I woke up with swirling colors and karate chops dancing in my head and got to work! And no I had not taken my meds yet(long story) so this was natural brain waves flowing......LOL!
My mother thought it was toooo funny, but it worked!
Always something Blue and Sparkling added somewhere! |
Ceramic, Glass and Crystal Beads |
I believe this is my longest piece to date, about 28inchs outside/ 24inches inside. It is a bit heavy because of the ceramic and glass beads.
And yes I noticed it also fits with the "Fourth of July" which made me laugh even more when I finished!
I do apologize for being late with my post and I appreciate everyone that stopped by before I got this finished. Thanks for visiting and keep Hopping there are more fabulous creations just waiting to be seen from my fellow hoarders below!

Hi ZIA, I did not know you had gotten ill? Hope you are better and Love and Prayers!!! I love you necklace!! I think the "twisted coin" blue crystals are an inspired choice they give it movement and texture along with the "have to have" sparkle!!! Love It!!! Great Job!!!

Hi Ms. Robin Thanks, I didn’t even know I had any of the coin crystals left, this on gave me a run for my money for sure! No hospital stays but there is a lot of pain these days where it should not be, so doc’s next week. Thank you for continued prayers.
Blessings Anzia

There is no silly trick that your Muse won't try when she feels you need a spark, Zia... your necklace is proof that beauty can flow from any colour scheme if you allow it! Welcome back, girl!

Kathleen, Thank you for your comment and your help with my google comments post, in Bead Soup Café. When I was laying out the design I kept thinking this is not right, it looks funny, totally outside of my “perfect pattern” ways Lol!
Blessings

You just never know where inspiration will come from :) I think it's wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThank you, so glad it came out well. Whew!
DeleteI love your color story and your 3 strand necklace.
ReplyDeleteI love long necklaces, and I've found that once it's on, I don't notice it, unless it's a really hot day, and in that case, EVERYTHING is too heavy, LOL!
ReplyDeleteYou did a lovely job and I know all about crazy dreams! :-)
Thanks for doing this!
You never know where your inspiration can come from. Love the play of colours!!
