Bead the Muse

Well it is time for me to post my version of Bead the Muse. I have had this piece sitting at my beading desk for almost 3 months now and I love it every time I pass it by. This was a nice challenge for me as I really didn't know what to do about the wooden pieces that came with the package. I saw a mandala when I first looked at it and then my own muse went from there. I had fun creating this piece. It is bigger than the actual pieces I like to wear. I usually feel more comfortable in smaller pieces of jewelry. I will put it in my next show in August and maybe it will find a more suitable home with someone. I do love it though and just looking at it everyday has given me more inspiration. I guess that's why I did this challenge in the first place!
