Sometimes I get a bee in my bonnet to bead something, even though I know next to nothing about beading. I was inspired by crafty Cara, a member of our crafty group. Okay, so the truth is I just copied one of her designs.
Here I am trying to figure out what to do:
And here’s the completed necklace!
AwEsOmE!
Great job you beadin’ queen– love your color scheme too!
Brilliant! I love those colors.
pretty – i like dangling beads around the neck….
Yummy necklace, it looks like hard candy! I must bow to your beading prowess and your many pliers, I buy beads and then never ever ever use them.
Very nice! I love how you get inspired to try something and jump right in.
It looks great. I love that it looks like hard red candies adorning your neck :O)
Beautiful!
Have you visited Shipwreck Beads in Lacey? It is the Costco of beads. It made even a non-crafty person (me) start beading.
I have friends in the bay area who actually devote many of their 3-day work holidays to a DRIVE to Shipwreck.

I thought you would like to know I tried your hersey bar frosting and it was
SPECTACULAR. I used it on top of chocolate cupcakes using a standard recipe,
except I added (oopsie, a leeetle too much) chili powder, buttermilk, and
dissolved strong instant coffee.
The frosting saved our tongues because the chili powder sort of kicked in
after about the third bite.
Sill lovin your blog.
Hi Mariko, you and I have the same approach to beading. I like it once in a while but then I don’t get into it. My last excuse was that the lighting in the winter is just too bad to see those teeny tiny beads & wires. The necklace is very pretty!
You are so crafty and cute! I love your spirit of crafting adventure.
ya know, for someone who claims that they don’t know how to bead you sure did a great job.
