Description This is the 'cool' colorway for my March class project! Ta-Da~

I will have a 'hot' one too with red, orange and yellow beads.

This is made with 11/0 Miyuki seed beads, a hand hammered, beaten, pitted, etched, blackened, tumbled rustic clasp (I made tons of them) made of pure copper.

It reminds me of a woven rug.

I think I'm going to sell this one on Etsy since I'll be making more with the class. I hope they don't see it and faint! I think they can do it.

Herringbone stitch, colors inspired by a painting by my friend [link]

The colors don't exactly match but that's what inspired the colors. I'll show the 'hot' color way when it's done.

I hope ya'll like it!

Lol it's not as fun as it sounds. Lots of planning and buying materials and trying to get people to understand what you're saying. My ladies are very cool though and they do a good job.

I have fun in the class! It's very enjoyable and my students are awesome and sweet and funny. It's all the preparation stuff that stinks.

I like to be spontaneous and planning a project 6 weeks or so ahead takes the fun out of it. By the time the class comes I don't wanna do the project, lol! But yes, I like the classes.

Thank you! I'm excited to do the 'hot' one! I'm waiting for Shipwreck Beads to send my Czechs. I adore Czechs! I mixed opaque and transparent with those also (like I did for this with the opaque turquoise) and the red is opaque and the orange and yellow are transparent. It should look great!

Oh wow, this is so so beautiful!
I really love the colours and how chunky it is! I really like the clasp, it makes it look magical.

Aww, thanks! I hate toggles because they come undone and the swirly bits on this one kind of 'hook' into the other part and help to keep it from coming undone.

I made 11 toggle clasps so we will see if any students want to use them.

Thank you for the fav!

Thanks! The bright colors make me happy and I'd never have thought to mix cobalt and peridot but they work together!

I've missed you here, J! Stop being a stranger!

Thanks so much, the hot one will be made as soon as my beads arrive in the mail. I can't wait neither, red is my favorite color!

Thanks, I was really trying for a rug look. Kind of a rustic peasant vibe going but still a happy shiny peasant, lol!

Thank you for the fav!

Thanks, Ess! I had fun beating the clasps up. I turned them blue then pickled them and the dark only stayed in the pits.

Thanks, I'm just waiting for my bead order to come in. They ship Priority but they said they got overloaded with orders and it'll take a few days to ship them, urgh!
