I know it seems that time is just flying by and next thing you know a whole month has gone by and yes I have entered another of the monthly challenges for Etsy Beadweavers.  This month the theme is "Holiday Treasures" and I created Poinsettia Holiday Treasure Corsage cuff to wear throught the holiday season. The cuff is made with one of my new favorite stitches - Russian Leaves in white and red with gold accents, the cuff is a silky ribbon of glass seed beads in Cream Soda color made with an alternating pattern of gold seed beads in a brick stitch.  The slide clasp is hidden amonst the Poinsettia flower. Voting for the challenge starts today November 9 and runs until November 15.  To register your vote please go to http:www.etsy-beadweavers.blogspot.com and vote for your favorite "Holiday Treasure"  We have 36 entries and all are wonderful so it will be a difficult decision.
