Kenny K's weekly challenge dt

time for another challenge on KKKG and we are also drawing to the end of my term for the Krafty Girlz dt, so this will be my last posting for them and i would like to think i am going out in style, so took the extra effort this week for our "Snow" challenge.
I sat for nearly two hours threading beads onto bead pins and then cut a circle frame from core board to make a shaker for Mr Claus.  I added glue around the outside of the core board and stuck the threaded bead pins in while the glue was wet so when my friend hangs this onto her tree it wont fall apart.
I added a crystal bead to the bottom of the ribbon so give the whole ensemble a bit of weight so that it will hang properly and then another crystal for good measure to the top.
Hope to see all the lovely creations this week and hope you will join us, Team A as we draw to an end of our term on the team.

P.S: i am away today so this post is scheduled, i am teaching copics to a few ladies in Rustenberg approx three hours drive from my home.
P.P.S:  had my studio broken into and ransacked late last night around 2am so i am not sure when you will see me blogging and creating again as i am totally bummed out and things are strewn all over my studio right now.  Hopefully it wont take too long before i get my head around this violation of my space.

  15. Oh, my sweet friend. I'm so sorry to hear of your violent invasion! Oh! I'm so upset for you. At least it was just "stuff" and that they didn't invade your home and hurt your family! What a crushing blow. I hope your classes went well and that you weren't too bummed to teach a great class. This ornament is so pretty! I can't believe that you sat and threaded all those beads onto the pins. Beautiful coloring, as always!
    Hugs,
    Barb
