Yellow flowers

I have not been doing much jewelry photographing, but I have been making pieces.  This is a the second lariat I made based on Leslie Frazier's Trumpet Flower Necklace in the Aug/Sept 2012 Beadwork  

Now I must get busy with the camera in order to show off what I have been doing since last spring.

A gift made for my mother based on Leslie Frazier's Trumpet Flower Necklace in the Aug/Sept 2012 Beadwork.  I picked out a color palette to coordinate with a winter outfit and my mom's favorite color of nail polish.

Celebration Giveaway

You can enter the giveaway for this fabulous necklace at Beading from the Heart.  Nancy Peterson from BFTH is celebrating her first publication in Beadwork magazine with this giveaway.  She is featured in the August/September issue:

The giveaway necklace is featured on the left in the photo above.  I thought this might be a good project for me to work on to learn a little RAW, but winning one would be even better.  Of course this is because I would have a "live" model in front of me.  Surf on over - Nancy will draw for a winner next Saturday, August 14th.  You might also check out some of her patterns at her store front.  I can't wait to get my hands on a few of these.
