I usually have to hold the beads (sometimes when I hold a bead, the feel of it will give me some inspiration)and then put all different types of beads and stringing material around them to take the first step in making something "what material to use"<br /><br />Once I have done this, I then have the problem of how to put them together. I only started beading this past March (I've taken a lot of classes) so I am still learning all the different stitches that are available. So, I would look at my classes notes and also look in books and magazines to find that "special" stitch to use to really complement the beads.<br /><br />I would hopefully be able to make a complete set out of them. That way, I know there would be no problems with finding the right earrings or bracelet to go with the necklace.<br /><br />Finally, what would I do with the finished project? Right now, if I should win these beads, I would give the finished item(s) to my niece. Her grandmother passed away last week and I think something new and beautiful would bring a smile to her face.<br /><br />I will be signing up to follow your blog, so I can find ideas and help with different things.<br /><br />Thank you for giving away such beautiful beads. I look forward to seeing more of your jewelry.<br /><br />Beth CobbBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03187225555807244038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1466139914955746610.post-52766323399984818862010-10-08T21:47:42.979-04:002010-10-08T21:47:42.979-04:00Yeli, your beautiful beads remind me of decorated ...Yeli, your beautiful beads remind me of decorated chocolates. I'm thinking the large heart needs to be a pendant, perhaps hung from a herringbone rope that uses one or more of the pretty colors in the "decorations." My initial inclination is to make an asymmetrical necklace, incorporating one of the large beads. I'm also seeing antiqued brass chain, or perhaps antiqued copper -- whichever blends best with the rich chocolate color. I'd make a pair of coordinating earrings with 2 or 4 of the smaller beads, and a matching bracelet with the other large bead and any small or medium beads that are left after making the earrings. I've always wanted to try making 3D chocolate truffles with peyote or herringbone stitch perhaps your beads are just the inspiration I need to make that happen!<br /><br />Yeli, they're beautiful, you did a fabulous job. And thanks for sponsoring the give-away!!!Lisa Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16084062160089620656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1466139914955746610.post-16621178246928532482010-10-08T15:06:02.640-04:002010-10-08T15:06:02.640-04:00I think that I could swing a full set as well.
