Sarajo's Honey Do List Reveal

I just love that Eric posts challenges for Sarajo and invites us all to play along! Check out their blogs here... Eric W and Sarajo W.

Eric took this picture of a koi pond with the sky reflected and a shadow of a fern over a beautiful koi fish.

Well, as soon as I saw Koi, I knew I was going to use one of my Keysha Koy glass beads! I have a small stash of them and one in the perfect sky blue. So then to find the orange... Enter Dakota Stone trunk show at Allegory Gallery with some sweet orange sodalite. I just so happened to have the silver fern fronds and some bumpy spacers in my stash. I'm not sure the stone, but the orange and white faceted rounds are a perfect imitation of the scales if the koi. WOW I loved this challenge! Check out my 'artsy' photo...

Here's a normal picture with the wood background that I always use...

And a close up of the Koy focal...

Thanks again, Sarajo and Eric! Check out everyone else's submissions on Sarajo's blog after they are posted on June 26. I'm a tad early in posting, but I was super excited and couldn't wait!
