Today is Bust your Stash day. Heather has challenged us to use something that 'hasn't seen the light of day in a while' or something we purchased from a bead show. In honor of Heather's fabulous idea, I pulled out this awesome acorn pendant/charm I bought from her a while back.
I also gathered up some other need-to-use pieces.
An enameled bead from GardanneBeads
A ceramic bead from Gaea
A knotted leather shank button from my stash
In addition, I selected some chain, wire, and seed beads and got to wrapping.
In no time this beauty came together.
Yeah, who needs to be at Bead Fest, when you can be at home playing with the awesomeness we have hoarded there?
As well, there's a new bracelet in the shop.

Oh, and if you're looking for more of today's pity party, head over to Heather's own post about it.
I love your Pity Party Necklace! And that peachy bracelet is just the sweetest. I hope to get someithing up on the blog this afternoon for the Pity Party myself, but there's lots of other stuff I need to tend to.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous weekend!
I love the necklace you made from your stash! I like how you combined the seed beads, button and ceramic beads. Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of gathering up a few beads gathering dust and making something. You did a great job. Love the asymmetrical necklace. Simplicity is nice too letting the awesome beads do the design.

Wonderful - I love that pulled out a Humblebeads in your stash busting!!! It's a fun mix of elements that make me want to hurry fall along.
ReplyDeleteHeather- I'm so pleased that you like what I created. As soon as you offered up this 'challenge' I knew what element I wanted to use. I'm been hoarding that little gem for FAR too long!! :)
ReplyDeleteYour necklace is lovely. I have several of Heather's beads but I either haven't finished the piece or don't know what to do with it. Yet. Maybe I'll do some bead stash busting as well this weekend.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the sweet note on my owl pillows. Have a wonderful weekend!

See how fun that is!? I not only was busting my stash trying to put some things together, but also jumping ahead and learning something new. I hope I will be able to share what I made with my hoarded treasures by Sunday night! So glad you are playing along with us!
