Getting Creative with Cabs--Cabochons Challenge/Hop!

Green Cabochon by Bay Moon Design

I want to thank Sally Russick for creating this challenge.  If it weren't for her and her wonderful tutorials on her website, I would still have 2 beautiful cabochons that are in need of beading.  Now I have 2 beautiful pieces of jewelry.

The rules for the challenge were simple:
1. Create a piece of jewelry

2. Use at least one cabochon in your design

3.  HAVE fun!

I won a green and pink cabochons last year and I put them aside because I had no idea what to do with them and then Sally came along with her challenge.  I got both of them out and ordered supplies that Sally suggested.

Tools that I ordered:

beading needles -Size 12
sewing scissors or scissors with a sharp tip
e6000 glue

Supplies that I used:

2 cabochons
seed beads size 11/0  2 colors for each
seed beads size 15/0 1 color for each
C-lon beading thread in several matching colors
Lacy’s Stiff Stuff
Felt 

I used all of Sally's videos and followed them step by step to create the green and pink cabs.
The green cab is on a silk ribbon and the pink I have yet to decide on what I will put it on.  I am waiting to get some ideas from the others on this blog hop. 

Pink Snowflake Cab by Bay Moon Design

I found it very relaxing beading these pieces.  I had to work under a lamp with magnification, but I do with all of my jewelry.  I loved having the videos available since I could pause and replay as often as necessary.  Sally was there holding my hand through the entire process.  I contacted her several times with questions and she got back to me promptly.  I as really pleased with how both of mine turned out.  I still want to spend some time creating something special to put my pink cab on.  I am open to suggestions! 

 Thank you Sally!  Please visit her blog and the other other participants.  Comments are welcome!
