Maybe I just lack imagination but I liked the simplicity of the beads in the diamonds that don’t have a cabochon. I’m not crazy about the blue seed beads on the points but they matched the blue delicas perfectly. Note, the cabochons are blue but they can look purple or gold from the side.

I am going to combine June and July since I know everyone is busy with vacations, ball games etc. This will also give you more time to work out your design and order beads, etc. The Summer Challenge is going to feature tubular Herringbone Stitch. The Rule is very simple: Make a tubular Herringbone Necklace. It must have royal blue as a main color. According to paint charts, Royal Blue encompasses a lot of shades of blue. You can complement it with any other colors you want. It can be as wide as you want, use whatever beads you want. Box 5 of Bead Master Envy is an example. I will be scheduling a a quick tutorial mid-June. (I'm babysitting my grandkids next week) This challenge will end July 31. I haven't decided on a prize yet, but you know it will be good. 😉 Good Luck!
