Haven’t beaded anything in a while, but a special occasion and a beautiful new lavender blouse with sheer cutouts demanded new baubles. If only my camera would photograph my beadwork decently, but you get the idea. The amethyst cabachons are so pretty in person.
April's Atelier 
They’re pretty purple and sparkles!
You need to use that macro!
I did use Macro! Honestly! Look how it captured the woodgrain LOL!
I need a new camera actually… something that can do justice to more than just landscapes (on a sunny day) and kittycats. 😉
You do realize you can get closer to the necklace with macro? ROFL!
Honestly, I just need a new camera. (Work with me here.. ;-P )
