Lorelei's Fusionbeads Blog Challenge

Lorelei challenged us with a selection of beads from Fusion Beads..the Lucite leaves did not speak to me so they were left out..but i loved the faceted beads and was surprised at the wonderful pattern the pinched seedbeads created when stacked together. Typically , my thought about the clasp.."i can make that"..i must have some weird OCD thing cause that's one of the first things that always pops into my head..even if i can't actually make whatever..i have to try it out.. the light has not been cooperative today...but here is my piece

After getting familiar with these elements it's clear that i will be taking this thing apart and redoing it with more color.

I also have gained a new respect for bead makers who do clasps..

Below is the list of Blog participants..
