Secret beader gift 4 received

These are the gifts that I received from Amanah, United Kingdom, at Secret Beader Exchange 4. The colour scheme of the key chain was blue – my favourite colour! The pair of earrings was lovely designed with glass beads and blue freshwater pearls. Yes, and the whole packaging concept was gorgeous with the pieces in organza bags and the organza bags in a black & gold box. It felt really luxurious. :-)

Bead exchange 4 - gift from Anne Cinnabar


This is set that I made for Karen/beadsbydesign at the event Secret Beader Exchange 4 at Beads & Button's/BeadStyle's forum . The picture is photographed by Karen.

The name of the piece is Electric Orange and is made of Red Aventurine stone chips, Swarovski Emerald bicone crystals and sterling silver round bead with etched stars.

The inspiration idea was autumn, since autumn colours are Karen's favourites. The Red Aventurine has the same colour as autumn leaves and the Swarovski Emerald bicones is the colour of the leaves just before the summer season turns to autumn. And the sterling silver bead with etched stars is just like the twinkle little stars upon sky in the autumn evenings.
