what I've been working this week

Here are a few peeks at what I've been working on this past week.  I finished my September EBW Challenge piece.  I'm not going to list it until the August challenge is over so I'm giving you guys a peek at it now.

You can read my first post about this challenge here.  I love how my yellow brick road turned out.  In the future, I would use accent beads that are a little smaller because it got pretty tight at the end.  But I love the overall look.  And you can see my little paw charm from Sharla for the lion.  I'll have more details about this piece when I list it later this month.

I used all of the yellow millefiori beads that I got for the yellow brick road, but I had some green beads left over.

So I made a simple green bracelet with them.  I love this little Emerald City piece so much that I decided I could make another one.  I'll list it sometime later this month, too.  If you'd like to reserve the challenge piece or this little one, let me know.

After I finished with the green, I switched color palettes completely and moved over to pastels.  I picked these beads out months ago with the intent of making pastel striped triangle earrings with a design similar to this.  I haven't sold any triangle earrings in a really long time, so I haven't found the motivation to make new ones.  But I got inspired to work with delicas again after my tubular herringbone rope so I got them out.

I'm making a tubular herringbone rope bracelet first, but I may get inspired to work up some earrings after that, too.

Finally, here are the buttons that I have picked out for my next round of button stud earrings.

Also, I'm still trying to come up with a name for my design team piece so I can list it.  Any and all suggestions are appreciated.  Thanks!
