Usually, my husband and I will go out for special dinner then spend our nights watching good movies...
Unfortunately we can not do that this year, because 2 weeks ago, I discovered myself 6 weeks pregnant... :D The doctor said that I should take care of my self well... And I began to feel sleepy all the time, moods become sweet and sour, and I just feel that I don't want to do anything else beside sleeping or reading books... Good for me that I don't get morning sickness, etc for the pregnancy... :p
Well, a couple of weeks ago (about a month) I challenge myself for BOM (Beads of Mystery) a challenge host by manik jawa :) We supposed to book some mystery beads, and receive a package of them...
Here's what I and other contestants get :)

At first, I really want to make a huge choker with full seedbeads... But then I realized that I can't make it with my condition right now... So I made this...

It's a simple necklace, with the pendant as the main course... ;p
I use 'Ayuri Spin' a spin of beads embroidery technique found by a friend of mine, Ayuk Rika... Some people told me that it looks like Jamie's spin, but actually they're different... My friend also hadn't read or have Jamie's book when she found this technique... :)
Then, i put the embellishment with a silver crystal drop at the bottom to give a touch of elegant...
Then, to make everything fit to each other, I gildered them... I also drain the wooden milk beads with some blue acrylic water... So in the end the color of the beads become soft-blue... :)

I hope that you like my creation, I know that it's so farrrr from what I wanted to make at the beginning...
But I'm proud enough that I can still make this necklace in this 'roller coaster' mood and situation...
Happy and Proud,
Jane Pranata
