Molecules For The Win!

I thought I'd start out on a high note. My First Place winning design!

Potomac Bead Co. had a contest for designs using their unique beads. I decided to try using as many of them in one design as I could and came up with the Molecules collar necklace.

As you can see the design allows for a bracelet and earrings, too. This pattern is on my Etsy site.  Kits for the above colorway will also be available within the next couple days.

But that isn't the only way to do the design...The DiscDuos can be replaced by Honeycomb beads and it works well, too.

I love the way the iridescent daggers reflect the colors of the rest of the design. It made picking out the other beads a real pleasure. This one looks Egyptian while the other one has a completely different feel. The design really has the ability to dress up or down with different attire.

On a different note, I ran into Allie from Potomac Bead Co. at the Bead and Button Show 2016 and she grabbed me for a quick pic of me in my necklace. So here we are all mussed up from walking the show floor all day, but having a blast.

I hope to see them all again next year.
