Mhoti Studio

we finally get to reveal our finished projects to the world, well at least to the rest of the Bead soup Group. Nikki sent me some awesome beads and I had this preliminary idea of what I would make.(see photo below) Ha , the best laid plans don't always work out the way we thought they would. I fiddled and diddled and fiddled some more.  BUT I have finished my pieces and I am quite pleased with myself (and them) Here is a reminder of what I received A gorgeous ceramic leaf focal, ceramic/raku  rounds, creamy fossil stone,  large smokey quartz, faceted amethyst,  and a hammered copper toggle clasp. My original idea was to use the layout you see here (above), I thought it made a lovely choker style necklace. That didn't work out so well. Here are the finished results. This first piece used the focal leaf, the fossil stones, ceramic beads and two of the smokey quartz, the copper toggle clasp from Nikki, plus from some brown bumpy glass beads, purple mini cats-eye, me

it's less than a week till my reveal day for the Bead soup blog Hop and I'm still working on my pieces . I have a design in my head that is NOT coming to fruition as i want it to , so i may have to backtrack and choose an alternate route. We'll see what happens as i create in my studio today.
