Here it is only the middle of June and here in Orlando the weather feels like it is August! It is just too hot to be outside much so I have been beading up a a storm here in the comfort of the Air conditioning. I have been working on several commissioned pieces and finally finished this one. I used Coral gemstone leaves and some 4 mm coral round beads to embellish it along with the flowers made with 11/0 and 15/0 seed beads. The second piece is almost finished so maybe today I will get it completed.
In between I have been working on a challange piece. I belong to the Bead Society of Central Florida and we are having our 3rd bead challange. This one has been a challange too. This picture called "Serene Purle Lake" was to be our inspiration. I have been working on it for the past 2 1/2 months with our deadline being July 14th and I am no where finishing it. I keep telling myself that I work best under pressure and I will get it done!
In the mean time I have numerous ideas in my head for new projects but I don't dare start anything new until I finish up some of the ones I have started.
