Design Challenge - Beadiful Nights

Hello Everyone!
This past week I gave myself a Design Challenge. The Challenge for the week was to choose a Tutorial or Design, and change it up... try to put my own stamp on it.  This week I chose a tutorial from Aleshia of Beadiful Nights. I decided to play with her Chic Beaded Ring Tutorial.

If you like this tutorial of hers, please check out her YouTube channel HERE or you can find her on FaceBook HERE

I began of course by following her tutorial and creating the ring....

 Then I decided to create a matching Pendant and Earrings.... but still kept to the basic tutorial....

Pendant and Earrings Created following the steps of the tutorial... without the ring band.

 

Bracelet created using the basic steps of the tutorial for the top of the ring.

The above photo is of a bracelet that my mother made using minor changes that I made to the pattern. I didn't remember to get a photo of the bracelet that I had made so I just took one of the bracelet mom made.

My Marina Bracelet in Aqua

I like larger bracelets, so I sat down and decided to do a double row using 8mm glass pearls in two shades of Aqua, 4mm silver beads, silver lined crystal Miyuki 8/0 seed beads, and a simple magnetic clasp.  I originally planned on using a double strand clasp, but unfortunately the only clasp I had onhand is one that is difficult to clasp and remove. 

I'm planning on posting some new designs in a few days if the lighting is good enough for me to get decent photos.  Another thing.. someone asked if I may be creating tutorials for some of my original designs (there aren't many but there are a few)... and to be perfectly honest.. I am not planning on doing any video tutorials, but I may create some photo montage tutorials, and may also create some downloadable PDF written patterns with photos.
Many tutorials that I've seen created by people who have long nails, have so many comments from people complaining that they can't see what the person is doing because of their nails.  As my nails are longer than most, I'm not even going to attempt it. 
That's all for tonight.. so I'll hopefully be back soon with another update.
Happy Designing Everyone!
