See this bright bangle bracelet?\u00a0 Would you believe it was inspired by a caterpillar?\u00a0 I’m not sure what originally inspired the lampwork artist (Moon Stumpp) to make her beads, but I pulled out this set of beads and set out to create a bracelet all due to a colorful caterpillar……this one to be exact:<\/p>\n

\"caterpillar\"<\/p>\n

Kelly over at the Silver Parrot <\/a>is hosting a bracelet challenge inspired by the beautiful colors found in nature.\u00a0 She chose a bunch of bright bugs and butterflies for the inspiration.\u00a0 I’ll admit I normally do not choose green beetles or caterpillars for inspiration…and maybe that’s why these whimsical lampwork beads have been sitting in my bead box for a very long time.\u00a0 Reminds me of\u00a0 Lori Anderson’s recent article <\/a>over on the Watch Me Create blog….she had some boro beads that were presenting a design problem and let them sit unused as well.\u00a0 She challenged us to get out those beads that we chose to overlook and bring them to life.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A little push was all I needed and now these beads are showcased in a coiled sterling silver bangle.\u00a0\u00a0 Thanks for inspiring me, Kelly and Lori!<\/p>\n

Making the rounds in other jewelry blogs, Julie over at Prairie Thistle<\/a> is hosting a giveaway until November 26th.\u00a0 Julie’s giveaway is a wonderful gesture in support of a few of her blog land friends.\u00a0 Stop over and you’ll find out more about this beautiful Ave Maria necklace…this religious pendant is truly stunning.\u00a0 It is amazing the wonderful friendships that are made through our blogs.<\/p>\n
