Margie and Me - Mammoth Hot Springs #170

This week I've chosen to go with #170, Mammoth Hot Springs. I'm kinda cheating this week, because I've already been playing around with these colors, so this is more of a challenge to see how far I can push it, oh, and also for you guys! Grab some beads and get to work!

Here's a better idea of the palette, but Margie also includes a hint of that wonderful mustardy yellow that you see in the bottom left corner of the picture. (For some reason the color palette generator just didn't pick that up.)

Okay, and I promised y'all the beadwoven pieces from my Seeds and Stones, and just wasn't able to get to it yesterday, so here it is today...

The first is a beadwoven ring that I call Mint Chocolate Truffle. This ring has such a great feel and profile.

And then there's a Turquoise Beadwoven Ring using the same pattern as above.

Also, do you remember this necklace? Well, I took the idea and created...

The Finch's Nest Beadwoven Bracelet. I found a picture of a Finch's nest, and it the little eggs look like the little gray seed beads that I used here.

I also listed Jasper Beadwoven Nesting Bracelet.

And, just to mention how things can morph themselves when given a chance... This pendant started out as a larger version of the nests above, but just didn't quite work out, so it ended up becoming something completely different, but I really like it.

I call it Budding Stones and it features some beautiful mosaic jasper and just pulls on those beautiful colors that I've been obsessed with lately. The stones are a little larger than what I've worked with previously, but I'm really liking it.

Alright, have a good Monday, and let me know if you decide to play along this week with me and Margie! Ya' never know what you may come up with!
