Bridal Challenge 2012

I have been enjoying the posts at  http://inspirationalbeading.blogspot.com/ lately.  The author, Mortira, just finished a year-long beading challenge to create a bracelet a week.  I, personally, like instant gratification and short-term goals, so I'm giving myself a six-week challenge.  Each week will begin with a bead "recipe"--colors, materials, stitches, pieces to mimic...we'll see.  From that recipe, I will endeavor to make a bridal piece (more than one when I'm ambitious!)

Week One Recipe:
Toho 8/o Color #994 Bronze Lined Crystal Rainbow
Toho 11/o Color #21 Crystal Silver Lined
Toho 15/o Color #558 Silver Galvanized
3mm white Swarovski Pearls
16 mm Swarovski Crystal Rivolis

All of my supplies were purchased from Bobby Bead in Minneapolis or at their online shop http://www.bobbybead.com/.  I get such great service there!  Love those folks.
