Freeform Peyote Challenge/Choose Your Own Adventure Update


Hi Y'all,

I am feeling much better then I was on Saturday so I thought that I would update the Freeform Peyote Challenge with my finished bracelet.

After reading all of the very nice and supportive comments I received from all of y'all I made the decision to finish my bracelet.  I am still not feeling 100 percent well but I worked on it a little bit at a time off and one through out the day and evening until it was done.

Before I show you the finished bracelet let me tell you a little about the beads I chose to work with.  I went to Bello Modo and I ordered some seed beads and I also ordered a Czech seed bead mix Wildly Bohemian/Jungle Boogie. 


Then I looked through all of my gemstones for a focal I selected several.  I played around with them until I made my choice to go with the Picasso Jasper oblong bead.  As normal I had other challenge pieces that I had to finish before I could start the freeform.  Well I finished those and got the one I had to send off in the mail and as luck would have it I got sick but I worked at it anyway and this is what I posted for the challenge reveal.


I want to say thank you to all of you that commented giving me well wish and the encouragement to finish my bracelet, I would now like to present to you Acres Wild.

 I am a Jethro Tull fan from way back and I was going to name this piece Bungle in the Jungle, because that is the song that kept going through my head as I was working on this piece.  But today when I was looking through the songs I came across Acres Wild that describes my piece more so then Bungle in the Jungle.

You can listen to Jethro Tull's Acres Wild on You Tube

Thank you once again to Karen Williams and Mandi Ainsworth for letting all of us play along in this freefrom challenge I am looking forward to doing freeform again I am coming to like this style of beading.

Happy beading Y'all,
Therese

  5. I just can't begin to tell you how much I love this bracelet! Of course that focal is scrumptious, but the colors you chose are divine! I like that there aren't a lot of bridges and embellishments, so you can focus on the stone. You really did a beautiful job, and I'm so glad you're feeling better.

  11. Hey, wow, you are a Jethro Tull fan, Therese! That kind of music is very special, indeed! "Acres wild" is such a wonderful song and really did inspire you as I can see. Your bracelet finally ended up in a perfect wave, so lovely. You got sick as I did the last weeks and you also had to finish some artwork...a terrible feeling. But luckily you are feeling better now, that's good news! :-)))
    Happy beading, Sabine
