Monthly Challenge March 2014 * Reveal Day*

I signed up for this challenge in very last minute, I did not think that I could make it in time. But the theme of this challenge is too Interesting I could not help myself I had to signed up.
The Picture Inspiration of the challenge is here :

Bride and Groom
Indian wedding style

You can read about this challenge here including the information about that picture.

What I love about the Indian Wedding besides their dresses is the bride's henna or mehndi. It's amazing how they decorated their hand in such a beautiful way.

I found a beautiful picture of Indian henna or mehndi here.

Look at her hand,pretty isn't it?

I decided to incorporate the henna idea with polymer clay into my design. Here it is what I have came up at first. I made this simple pin/brooch using my handmade polymer clay and using some brown and white seed beads.

But after a couple of days I decided to put more ruffle on the beads embroidery and this is the result.

My entry for The January Challenge "Operation Tackle That Bead Stash"

Every month Operation Tackle That Bead Stash always holding an interesting challenge with interesting gift also. And I have been participating in the challenge for quite some time now. The January challenged was to created something inspired by a famous painting. If you interested about this challenge please visit here.
After searched on the internet, I found this lovely painting by Vincent van Gogh. And this painting suits my interest of making applique on polymer beads.

"Blossoming Almond tree"
Vincent van Gogh

 At first I made this polymer cabochon with flower applique for my focal beads. I decided to use pink instead of white for the flower, after my daughter who always "helping" me insisted that pink is better than white :-D. Well I thought it would work too.
Here it is the beads I made.

After I found my focal beads, I also made some beads to completed this necklace. I made two tube shaped beads and also some round beads in pink and green.
