EBW July Challenge winner, more fun with embellishment

Congratulations to KraftyMax who won the EBW July Challenge Here Comes the Bride with her piece Intertwined in Love for Wedding Bliss! As always there were a ton of stunning entries.

I have been wanting to make something like the bracelet that I listed today ever since I wanted to get serious about making beaded jewelry and not just stringing beads. A year later, I finally accomplished it. I cannot tell you how proud I am of this piece.


It was really a lot of fun to make, too. I completed a similar piece in green this week. I'm thinking about making a purple or red one (surprise, surprise!) as well.

June EBW Challenge winner, July EBW Challenge entry

Congratulations to LiciaBeads who won the June EBW Challenge: Humor with her awesome necklace Curiosity Killed the Cat! I seriously love that piece. Licia is also a fellow Awesome Chicks of Etsy member. :)


I listed my entry for the July EBW Challenge: Here Comes the Bride today. As some of you may remember, I got the Swarovski buttons that I used in the bracelet as part of my first set of items for the ArtBeads Blogging for Beads program. I still have a set of purple buttons to use at some point in the future, too.


I have had weddings on my mind most of this past year so this theme really could not have some at a more perfect time. As soon as I saw the theme, I knew that this was a challenge that I could not resist. I had a lot of fun with this piece and am really pleased with the result. :)
