I have been in a creative slump so I decided to check it out.
On Thursday.
Night.
After a very long and trying day at the salon.
Day before I had to do a Bride and her sister's nails for a wedding.
12 muffin cups, 12 projects. No problem.
In a week. No problem.
Week 1/2 gone. Um, problem.
I figured that I wouldn't participate till a fb friend pointed out that the challenge was reduced to 6 projects. Phew, game on.
I filled my muffin tin on Friday night after I rocked those wedding nails.
By the time I was ready for bed I had 18 projects in those muffin cups!
I even grabbed our 6 tin muffin pan out of the cabinet.
I was able to make 12 pieces, 1 more is on the bead mat right now. Here they are:
 |
| Lampwork beads from HMB Studios, vintage Swarovski crystals, Sea glass, Quartz and TierraCast |
 |
| Vinatge Swarovski Crystals and TierraCast |
 |
| Pendant by Nancy Schindler, shell and Vinatj Chain |
 |
| Handmade beads by Gaea Cannaday and leather, Vintaj clasp |
 |
| Handmade pendant by MadMaggie Designs |
 |
| Lampwork Glass beads by HMB Studios and heart charm by Green Girls Studio |
 |
| Handmade toggle by MadMaggie Designs, Handmade Egg by Kelley Wenzel, Handmade Lampwork beads by Julsbeads |
 |
| Garnets, TierraCast and I am sure dyed magnesite |
 |
| Stretch bracelet 2 hole jasper and Vinatj beads |
 |
| Lampwork bead by Julsbeads, abalone, Vinatj chain and charm |
 |
| Handmade pendant Missficklemedia, glass and Vinatj chain |
 |
| Humblebeads polymer clay beads, carnelian, magnesite, jade, Enameled bead by Sally Russick |
I had a blast doing this challenge and even have 5 or 6 projects waiting to be made. I think I will keep up this challenge. I rarely cook anyway ;-) I loved that the short time frame made me have to use what was in my stash! A great way to use up those Art Beads I have been hoarding.
Thanks for stopping by, leave me a link to your post I would love to see what my frieands and readers have made for this challenge.

Wow!! Shannon. One beauty after another. Very nice. I am so glad you participated.
They're all so beautiful. Great job getting them finished, too! I wish I'd had art beads to use this time around, but I was all out, and tried to use up some of my stone stash: http://plussizebangles.com/blog/
Oh man, those are some awesome pieces! Thanks a lot, now I have drool all over my computer! I was gonna state my faves, but...that would be all of them!
Nice Shannon and only one pair of earrings!! I had a bracelet and necklace in mind but didn't even finish using all earrings. Good for you my friend! Kristi
I second Mary...wow! One knockout after another! Girl, you know how to buy some beads! I love that you include an art bead in virtually every single project! And of course you're my friend!! XOXO!!
Shannon... you totally rocked the muffin tin challenge! Love each piece! Your color choices are wonderful. Completely love what you did with the Julsbeads! I'm drooling!
You should be proud dear, I don't know if I could do 12 projects in a week.
{Hugs!}
Wow 3!!
Fantastic! Love the MadMaggie clasp with the egg bead (I have those too in my too good to use pile, glad to see them out in action), I love the one above it too with the red bead and heart charm.
Great Work!

You did it!! Yay!
I adore each and every one of these pieces but I've got to pick a favorite or two for the heck of it. The leather and Gaea beads necklace as well as the one with the MissFickleMedia pendant are both super fab.
I'm so happy you got enough done to participate!
Girl, I'm so drooling over those incredible MadMaggie pieces...that first one, in the tans, is just gorgeous! Love all the work you did, and I have to admit I'm quite impressed at only one pair of earrings!
This challenge really worked for you! These designs are great!!
You did it Shannon!!! Lovely job - I think the Nancy Shindler piece and Missficklemedia piece are my favs!
Hi Shannon, I love the pieces you made and I agree, this was a really good challenge to use up things I've been hoarding! Here's a link to my post

Oh so awesome! You have such a wide range of styles going on here... something for everyone! Thanks for introducing me to some new (to me!) artists! I didn't finish but got about 4 done but I will keep it up as long as there is a bead in my studio! ;-)
Enjoy the day!
