Better Late ...

I have to apologise for posting this so late. On Monday I took hubby to the emergency department of the hospital. They took him in immediately, no waiting around. It was serious stuff. So, with my gorgeous pack of beads arriving only that day, sometime while I was sitting waiting for them to work out what to do with my man, it was quite an effort to work up something in such a short time and with so much to distract me. I've spent every day since in the hospital for some part if not all of it. They still don't know what is exactly up with him. They use the word investigating a lot.

So, last night I literately threw this necklace together. I'm not happy with it, but it will do for the sake of the challenge, though I'm certain I will pull this apart at some other time when my frame of mind is more together and come up with something I just love. The components are totally gorgeous. Loved this long awaited pack. I did begin a pair of earrings with the Swarovski crystals, but only one of those is complete. The mix of seedies and Czech beads, yum, is totally delicious and will at some time become a freeform peyote stitch bracelet. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the simple necklace I created with the pieces after only two nights to ponder. Please remember to check out the other participants in the September Reader's Challenge on The Writing and Art of Andrew Thornton.

  3. For something that has been 'thrown' together, I'd say, cool, I even like it :)

  5. You did a lovely job, even you yourself are not happy with it :) I hope if you do rip it down and remake it, you'll post a link at the forum to new pics so we can all see them as well!

    I hope your hubby is doing better!

  6. The wire wrapped crystals in the center of the flowers is gorgeous Heather. This deffinitly does NOT look thrown together.
    Hope they stop investigating and start helping too! Your hubby will be in our thoughts.
