We all brought beads and tools to work on ornaments. Double click on the group pic to see the detail. All were so different. Some of us made two of them and some of us made a couple pairs of earrings. I meant to take a pic of April's earrings and forgot, so April...if you are reading this, you might post a pic of yours.
We all had such a great day. Marlene learned first hand what a crazy group this is.
I got a kick out of Maddie. She asked how often we meet and we said every week, when possible. She said she only sees her best friend about once a month. In my mind I was saying, we are blessed :>))
Next week we will head to April's and start a mug challenge that she has for us. No doubt, it will be fun! That's what this is all about...art, friendship, and laughing...
The bare pic of the star fish is what we started with. These cute little star fish are from the Phillipines. Mary had a bunch of seed beads for us to use. We all brought extras and beads to use for the project. I think you could do this with any kind of star fish. April has an orament trade for Christmas in her family...so she is one step ahead!
OK, April...I know the beads are not in the proper rainbow logical order :>))
These starfish were so fun to work on! And they all turned out so great. I was just looking at them all up close, AGAIN, and they are wonderful. So different, yet so cool! Mary, although you didn't set your beads out in rainbow-logical order they are lovely all the same. Fun to just run your fingers through. Ahhh! . . . the pleasures of beading!
