Spring Fling 2 Hosted by Amy Severino

Hi Y'all,

Welcome to the Spring Fling 2 reveal.   The beautiful and most talented Amy Severino of Amybeads blog is the host of this second Spring Fling Challenge.  Amy puts together a kit of a focal piece and a few coordinating beads for a small price, and you guessed it a lot of us pounce on a chance to be a participant in her challenge.  Here is what we got to work with this time.

Amy got together with her partner of Bead Soup Blog Party 6 Alenka of Pepita Handmade blog, Alenka made the beautiful focal piece in this challenge using polymer clay.  It took me a long time to come up with what I wanted to make in this challenge, because purple is not an easy color for me to work with, but I managed.

Here is what I came up with...

I did bead embroidery around the Dragonfly focal with white glass pearl and 3 mm black Czech crystals. The neck strap is done in RAW with white glass pearls, 4 mm Amethyst beads, and size 15 seed beads.

I made a pair of earrings using the white AB 8 mm beads and the crackle glass beads with cooper ear wires.  The bracelet I used the purple died agate beads with the white pearls, light purple AB 4 mm bicones and copper accent beads. 

Thank you for stopping by to see what I did in this challenge, also thank you Amy for presenting this challenge.
