Free Form Peyote Blog Hop - The Big Reveal
I have taken part in Karen Williams and Mandi Ainsworth's Free Form Peyote Challege. I have done any free form for at least 10 years so I was a bit rusty. Here is what I came up with. I used some tiger eye as a base and attempted to create a colour scheme to match. Thank you to Ary'dell Hotelling for her 'how to' on creating a snug fitting loop for the clasp that has no gaps when fastened. I may have hidden the donut in the centre a bit too much I think.

  4. I love the earthiness, Marj! I don't think you covered the donut too much- just enough to look like a treasure in a jungle ;)

  5. This is so pretty Marj! It reminds me of a rainforest with the colors and textures. I really like the 'hidden donut' because you never know what is lurking in the forest groundcover or canopy!

  6. Your colors remind me of a lush summer garden with lots of greenery filled with blooming flowers. The donut is great fun, though I did have to search for it a moment. It's like a hidden treasure in the heart of your garden.
