Pretty in Pink...

I'm happy to say that I'm up to my 6th cabochon now! Plus, I'm using up some of my Bead Stash, still learning more stitches and having a blast designing all at the same time! The colors in this cabochon make you feel like Spring! My favorite color is actually purple, however pink is next in line. So...I'd like to introduce to you:

"Pretty in Pink"





This cabochon is a Argentina Rhodochrosite Round Cab. I found the colors to be beautiful and vibrant. I just really had fallen in love with this cab! I used the Basic Bezel and the Two Bead Edge Variation and also the Pointed Edge.




On a different note...if you have the time to go and read this very interesting article on why we bead, I'm sure that you will enjoy it! It's:

Thanks so much for stopping in today and I hope that you have a beadiful day! So...until the next time, Bead Happy!
Hugs and happy beading...

A new learning experience...

This is my fourth cabochon now that I've completed and I'm so happy with myself about this one because I learned 3 new stitches along my way! I love to bead and I'm just loving these cabochons! I'm also using up some of my bead stash that I have here at home to!
I've found out that you can do just about anything with a cabochon, the sky seems to be the limit! They seem to take life once you start to work on them. In all four of the cabs that I've made so far I really had no clue of what they might turn out to look like in the end. I just went with the cabochon itself and let it speak to my heart. So, I'd like to introduce to you, "Earthbound".



Thanks so much for stopping in today and I hope that you have a wonderful rest of your weekend! So, until the next time, Bead Happy everyone!
Hugs and happy beading...
