These Cubic Zirconia Beads from Artbeads.com have been such fun to work with!This week's project makes use of the yellow Cubic Zirconia teardrop I mentioned on Monday and the 8mm Yellow Cushions that I mentioned on Thursday. I threw in a few miscellaneous beads I had on hand including some 4mm bicone glass beads.
The bicones are not crystals, but I thought they were a nice fit because the color was close and they won't be competing at all with the CZ's. I think what really made this fun and helped the yellow stand out is the Soft Flex "econoflex" beading wire in Autumn Brown which I found at Hobby Lobby.
I hope everyone had a happy holiday and are now enjoying a nice weekend with time for arts and crafts! It's "craft night" for me which means a night full of fun, food and crafts till the wee hours with family and friends. Yay!
The project I am taking is a holiday bracelet that will coordinate well with the one I took last year. I normally do not use elastic in my jewelry pieces, but I think we will give it a try this time just for something different.
It will be full of sparkle and if I can get them done in time, I will be making a fun 12 bead bauble for the focal piece for each one...I better get busy and head over to the craft store!! :)
Have a great day!!

This is beautiful!! I just came in from the yard with the dogs and this warmed me to my toes.
I love that! The color is so pretty and I especially like the way you attached the focal bead!
Oooooooooooooo pretty! I like the simplicity of this design!
So pretty and delicate, but it certainly makes a great statement!!!
Cheers
Very nice! The pendent looks awesome. What a unique way to attach it! Very clean & sophisticated look. This would be a stunner for the holidays.

I enjoyed your posts about the zirkonia beads. Beautiful and sparkling! And this project is bringing the sun to a rainy fall day. :-)
Oh, you guys are so nice, THANK YOU!! :)
That necklace is so lovely. The SoftFlex exposed wire is a truly brilliant touch, too.
Looking forward to seeing the holiday craft project!
This yellow necklace set is looking just beautiful. I really love this color. This is my favourite color.
