One Crayon Color Challenge

Purple and all of the goodness that comes with it!

Sally Russick of The Studio Sublime

invited us to play along with her next challenge,

the One Crayon Color Challenge.

I choose one of my favorite colors ~ 

Purple!

Love that color, so regal, so majestic.

Love it.

In going through my beads I did discover that I had 

a fair amount of purple but, can one ever have

enough beads?

I think not!

(actually I probably have plenty!)

So when my mom was in town a few weeks ago we headed

out to the Intergem show at the National Harbor 

here in DC and gathered plenty. :)

As usual for me, this required much playing,

stringing, un-stringing, wrapping and un-wrapping

before I got it right.  

I also added a small accent color, can you guess?

Tangerine Tango. Love that color!

So, without further ado….

A combination of wooden beads, these amazing purple geode beads, purple seed beads,

purple Artistic Wire and a few well placed tangerine chinese crystal

rondelles, a handmade tangerine enameled bead

and a purple polymer pendant, these last two made by me.

:)

Thank you Sally, for inviting us to color our day!

Please take a moment or twelve and hop around

and see what everyone made!

Yes, I am still here

Wow, I have been remiss.

I mean really bad about blogging,

please forgive me! :)

So much going on.

Jeannie has been so gracious to include me in her

Echo Creative Club

and sent me these luscious goodies.

They scream SUMMER and mint chocolate chip ice cream.

Hmmm, idea maybe????

I can't wait to play.

I am also participating in Sally Rusick's

(of Studio Sublime fame)

One Crayon Color Challenge.

My color is purple!!!!!

I would share a sneak peak but don't know quite where to

go to blur/pixilate/mess up a photo now that

Picnik is gone………

(open to any suggestions)

Please come back on Saturday to see what everyone has created!!!

And lastly,

I was at the mall with my daughter this weekend for a

wonderful girl's weekend and found this!

Do you know what this is???

LIP GLOSS IN TANGERINE TANGO!!!!!

I love lip gloss, in tangerine.

Yes I bought it. You can too at Sephora.

Brilliant!!!!
