No Myth in Letting Them Eat Cake!

Hiya everyone and thanks for stopping by the nest this week.  I am happy to say that I am feeling better this week than I did last week.  So much so that I made a new bracelet.  Which was the first beadwork I have done besides Inchies and Twinchies, of course, in forever!  (at least it seems so).  I took up the challenges from 2 of the Facebook groups that I am a part of for this bracelet.  In the group Seed Beads and More the challenge was to make a flat spiral piece of beadwork, and in the group Beadwork Mentoring  the challenge was to use black and white and 1 more color in beading.  So I merged the 2 challenges and made this bracelet.  A Double flat spiral

 

For this bracelet I used 6mm black opaque rounds, 8/0 opaque white seed beads, 11/0 light turquoise seed beads, and opaque white super duos.  The clasp was actually one I got here.  This is a mix of components and inside it was 2 different tones of metal box clasp.  But since neither one of them had the other part and they fit together I figured, "Why not?!?"  I love the feeling of this stitch and this bracelet.  It is really fun to wear. 


This week over at Every Inchie Monday the theme is Myth.  There are way too many myths to design about but the one I really wanted to make was one that was a joke at our house, and I actually forgot all about until this theme came up.  We used to live in a trailer that had a pond behind it, and occasionally, you could see something come up out of the water.  Some people said it was an alligator, some said it was a branch that was moved by a fish, some said it was a big water moccasin, still others thought it might be a cousin of "Nessie", the Loch Ness Monster.  I really did not want to know what it was and I did not want it to come out of the water, lol.  So here is my inchie.

For this inchie I used 4 colors of Delicas, and as you can see it is a "Nessie"  in the water, just kinda hanging out, lol.

Also, over at 2x2x2 the theme is Cake.  Now this theme was perfect for this week (even though I designed my twinchie a few months ago).  My daughters best friend came back to Arkansas from Arizona for a wedding of their high school classmates.  What a perfect reason for cake.  Actually the fact that you woke up this morning is a perfect reason for cake!  Who doesn't love cake?!? 

For this Twinchie I meant for this wedding cake to look like the beautiful ones that I see in cake blogs.  I used 4 colors of delicas in this one and tried to make it look like those beautiful expensive decorator cakes.  Hope you like it.
This is me for this week.  I have a necklace in the works, but it is not done at this time so I will show it off next week.  Thanks for stopping by an leaving me great comments.  I love them all.  Also, don't forget to fly on over to EIM and 2x2x2 an check out all the artwork over there. 

Have a blessed and creative week.
