Dreamin Of Beads / SAS Jewelry Designs: September 2013

I know some of you out there in the big blog world are shocked to see that I have finally posted a new blog post. It has only been 6 months....not THAT long, LOL! I had a really busy summer with the family and both the boys are now in school. When Sally Russick made the announcement that she would be hosting a cabochon blog hop I thought this is just the thing to get me back to blogging and participating in challenges, hops, etc.

Well, I was sort of right....

I did start a design, I just have not finished it yet.

I made the cabochon with resin. It is a faux dicroic glass. In the picture it is really difficult to see how pretty it really is. I back stitched it to some Lacey's stiff stuff and then did the suede backing in black. I did a netting stitch around the cab. I plan on making the chain of the necklace using St. Petersburg stitch.

As you can see in the above picture, I already started these smaller cabs, and planned on using them with this design, not sure if that is still going to happen. I now see the focal piece with just a simple black stitched rope/chain of some sort.

Please visit all the participants, I am sure they all have beautiful creations. I will post pictures of mine once completed. Thanks to Sally for getting in back in the groove, although it is a slow process, I suppose it is a start.
