Waterlilies

I couldn't let the ABS challenge go by without
using an art bead by Humblebeads. Soft New Jade
and faceted yellow jade accent the focal bead.
Nuggets of a blue stone ( I would call it Dumorite)
and Bali silver rondells.

A beautiful leaf clasp to finish it off.

Now we are off to play! Bailey is doing her early morning
stretches outside. We watched the deer along the wood
line eating grass and munching leaves. They watched us too,
then slipped silently away. Almost like ghosts....I'm gonna
slip away today and enjoy the afternoon with my Geary.
Yesterday was our 28th anniversary. My one true love,
may we share many more happy years.

May ABS entry

Two months in a row! That has to be a record.
This is my May entry for the ABS contest.
Monet's Water Lilies...my interpretation of.
Our pond has waterlilies, but in our pond the water is a
shade of brown and dark blue, not vibrant like Monet's.
Lots of dragonflies too.

I went with the more earthy tones. A dragonfly focal made
by me. A water colored silk ribbon from Jamnglass, a leaf
from Earthwood Studios and a Vintaj clasp from Bello Modo.
I wire wrapped jade stones and used chain from the local
craft store. The rings around the silk were just wire wrapped
as if to make jump rings and then cut to size.
