Nuit d'été

When Artbeads asked me to make a project for their Summertime gallery, I chose nice bright summery colors... then when I started beading, it turned into a summer's night! Nuit d'été (Summer Night) is its name:

I used a Bermuda Blue Pendant and 3 Bermuda Blue Cosmic Rings

The beads are Toho 3-cut 12/o gold-lined blue - lots of sparkle!

The roundels used in the bumpy sections of the rope are Czech crystals I got in Andrews at the last bead retreat. I love the color.

Artbeads posts all of the contributor photos on their blog. Check it out here.

*Please note: I have received the above items (the Bermuda Blue crystals and the 3-cut seed beads) free of charge from Artbeads. This is my honest review of the product and I have not been paid for my endorsement as it pertains to the products received.

Herringbone Snake Necklace,

I made this a while ago. The cover is removable, as is the pendant, which is not finished yet... that'll have to wait until my Elemental embroidery project is finished. The different bead sizes make the twist.
