She Made/She Made

Hi Y'all,

Welcome to the first month of She Made/She Made between Christine Altmiller of One Kiss Creations blog and myself.

Okay let me tell y'all how all this come about.  Once upon a time back in July 2012 I went to Pennsylvania where I met wonderfully sweet and caring beady chic by the name of Christine Altmiller.  We got along like as if we had known each other for years.  The first thing Christine and I did was hop in her car and made a bee line right to the only bead store in Carsile, PA by the name of "The Rolling Bead" (awesome store if you are ever in Carsile, PA ya need to go by there).  After we shopped we went to The Cracker Barrel where we met up with my Mom and we all had a wonderful lunch.  Christine and I opened our gifts to each other and since we both kept half of what we gave to each other (minus a couple of items) we decided that it would be fun to do a She made/She made each month.  We decided that she would make the fist pick of what we would use to create with and Christine chose the Blue Amazonite. 

  

(this picture is from Christine's blog I did not think to take a picture before I made my pieces Duh!) 

Don't you just love the icy blue color of these little beauties.

I bet you are wanting to see what I made aren't you?  Well okay since you have been so kind to have read through all of my rambling I will show you.

I apologize for this picture I was in a hurry to take pictures of my pieces for the fair that when I got to this one my camera battery died and since it is still at the fair I was not able to get a better photo before this reveal.

I had ordered this Mystic Blue Feldspar from Lima Beads before Christine made her pick.  When I knew that we were going to be using the Blue Amazonite I knew that the feldspar would go perfect with them.

Then the question was what was I going to use to highlight these beautiful blue stones.  My local bead store High Strung Beads was having a trunk show and I stopped by to see what she had and I spotted the silver tone hearts and knew these would be perfect with the blue stones. I also picked up some gunmetal daisy spacers. I had the small silver tone metal beads in my stash along with the clasp.  After I made the necklace I still had two of the feldspar, five of the amazonite, and four of the silver tone metal hearts so I made a bracelet and earrings.

Thank you for stopping by to see what I created for the September She made/She made. Christine will be making the choice for October and November is my pick, so in a couple of weeks come back and find out what we will be creating with in November. November is also my birthday month too and the She made/She made will be more of a We made/We made, because I am inviting a few others (they know who they are) to join in.   Now please go by Christine's blog and see what she created.

Happy beading Y'all,

Therese
