The Color of Dreams Blog Hop * Reveal day*


The Color of Dreams Blog Hop




Welcome to the reveal day of "The Color of Dreams Blog Hop" !!.

For you who don't know about this blog hop event please visit here first, Rita who created this event and wrote about this blog hop nicely, I love her writing. And I also love her kindness of sharing beautiful and unique beads with all of us,50 participants. She wants everyone creating a jewelry to show or to represents our dream. We need to focus on one rule "If we can dream it, we can achieve it".



The bead in the middle is the bead that Rita sent to me, handmade by Patricia Handschuh,and each of participants got different kind of beads.

My beads.

After I got my beads, I decided to make some polymer clay beads to accompany this beautiful beads. I used   the beads from Patricia as an inspiration beads.
I started with making this leaf beads.

 After that I also made these round beads with my left over leaf canes.

Last but not least I made this focal beads.



My dreams.


I have been making handmade jewelry for about three years and I always want to open a store to sell my handmade jewelry some day. I am thinking about a small store or boutique to display all of my handmade jewelry and also to display my mother works ( she is a seamstress). I think it would be a great idea, what do you think?
I have no idea when this dreams become reality, our family always moving from one country to another country. My husband is visiting professor in University of Notre Dame, Indiana and in about two months our family is going to move to another country. I guess I have to keep on dreaming until some day our family can settled down in one country ( hopefully my home country Indonesia) and I can open my handmade jewelry store.

My Jewelry.

Using Patricia bead and also my handmade beads I made this necklace.

  13. Beautiful necklace, Asri. I can't decide which beads I like best ....the leaves, green round beads. pink cylinder beads or pink rose focal. They're all amazing!!!! You have incredible talent and artistry and should be sharing with the world. I'm sure any shop you have will be a great success. Thanks for sharing your dream.

  24. Asri, I think your necklace is STUNNING! I love the beads you made. I've just recently been making polymer beads & it isn't as easy as it looks to build the canes. Yours are gorgeous & they offset your bead so well. I hope your dream comes true!

  25. Asri, my dream would be to create art beads like you! The beads you made to accompany Patricia's pillow bead are absolutely charming! And your necklace is gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!

    I love your dream of going home, of returning to Indonesia, of opening a bead & seamstress shop with your mother. It feels so nurturing and cozy and lovely as i read your dream, and so very real! Reading your words, your beautiful heart and soul touches me and I see you there -- living your dream come true!

    Thank you for sharing your gifts as both a bead artist and designer with us! I'm so honored to share creatively with you, and appreciate all you give! You are always as lovely and inspiring as your art!
    Bravo! xxoo Rita
