Muse in a Box

Over the summer I saw a blog talking about "use the Muse II". Hummm..sounded interesting. Turns out Scarlett Lanson 'the bead maven' along with ArtBeads.com, has this clever contest where everyone receives a box of beads and stuff with a mystery "Muse". The muse is was an undisclosed focal point in the box. All that was known of the Muse was that is was from LillyPilly Designs. You could use all the elements in the box , or just some or add some of your own beads to your creation. Scarlett would then announce the winners on her blog http://www.thebeadersmuse.com/.

My box arrived with so many different textures and shades of blues and purples. And the muse from LillyPilly Designs…very lovely and reminded me of old wallpaper patterns from the 50’s. This particular pattern reminded me of my Grandmother’s house. The more I looked, the more I kept turning it upside down, I guess because my life has been a little upside down lately. The muse was just calling for sparkle and what better than one of my Grandmother’s old earrings. So the finished project involves 2 strands, one of beads and sparkle and one of soft look of pearls and pearl knotting.

The big reveal has happened and you can view all these wonderful lovely necklaces. Thanks again to The Bead Maven herself, Scalett Lanson for all the work creating this wonderful creative challenge. So visit the http://www.thebeadersmuse.com/ to see all the winners and all the entrees.

Thanks for stopping by and come back soon.
