Our challenge for March/April was to create something from beads we would never use. We all have beads in our stash that cause us to ask ourselves what we were thinking when we bought them. Or, perhaps they were a gift or maybe there is nothing wrong with the beads, but you just haven't been able to think of a way to use them. The jewelry artists who participated in this challenge certainly rose to the occasion.
From Irith, we have this beautiful necklace made of amber beads she bought in an antique shop many years ago, put in a box and then forgot all about them. We are glad this challenge motivated you to remember those wonderful bead, Irith!
After staring at her beads for weeks, Cat came up with this wonderful zigzag necklace and used her mismatched beads as dangles. Such a great way to use these beads; I knew Cat would not disappoint.
I was able to use three different types of beads I thought I'd never use starting with the large wood bead wrapped in orange, red and lime green cord. Once I started, it all sort of came together bit by bit.
Congratulations, everyone, for finally using up those beads!
