I entered the Use the Muse contest hosted by Scarlett Lanson. Each participant purchased the same kit from Scarlett. The goal was to complete a piece of beading that was wearable in a relatively short time. Above is the front of my completed necklace.
Above is detail from the back of my necklace. Here's something really cool - I thought I made this photos smaller, but they keep uploading large. However, if you look into the shiny beads, you can see my shadow taking the photo! I am outside on our deck, and the house is behind me.
The photo above shows closer detail of the front.
I enjoyed designing a piece with a given set of materials. I was very fortunate to actually like the beads in the kit. I've done other projects where the beads are predetermined and have really disliked them. It's much harder to make something in that case.
I didn't win (I didn't expect to), but you should definitely check out the winners and look at the galleries of entrants There are a lot of wonderful pieces to look at.

I like what you did with the kit, especially the beads you chose to add to it in designing your necklace.
It was a challenge for me. But I am thinking that I would rather choose my own beads.
Great necklace. I think every necklace I've seen so far has been terrific. It's amazing what variety can be had with one set of beads!
I really enjoyed your entry as well and I love being able to see additional photos that are BIG. Thanks for sharing yours
So pretty! I really like your color combination with the ribbon.
I've never done anything with a pre-selected kit. I'm not sure what my reaction would be.
