This is my entry into the Etsy Beadweaver's December Challenge titled "Snow Queen." I chose to use shiny silver and gold rocaille (size 15) seed beads to make the flowers and leaves and the chain is a spiral stitch.

Etsy Beadweaver's December Challenge

I can't believe how the time has flown by and I haven't written anything here since the end of October! So much has happened and I've been making so many new beaded items and it's been very exciting. I really do need to be more responsible for my blog, especially since I have my first follower! Thank you - that was so exciting to see.

For the first time I created a piece to enter into the Etsy Beadweavers monthly challenge. The theme is "Snow Queen" and the entries this month are absolutely awesome. My entry pales in comparison to so many of them, but it was a great learning experience for me and I'm glad I decided to enter my piece even though it was scarey.

If you are interested in seeing all the entries, you can view them on Etsy (http://www.etsy.com/index.php) and in the search field put "EBWC" which stands for Etsy Beadweavers Challenge.

In a few days, all of the entries will be posted on the Etsy Beadweavers Blogspot
(http://etsy-beadweavers.blogspot.com/) and you can actually vote for your favorite beginning December 10th.
