Immediately, I wanted to do a Snow White piece, probably because of the Once Upon A Time show on ABC. I thought about that for a couple of days, but for some reason, Little Red Riding Hood kept popping up in my head. I had many ideas involving the hooded cape, the basket, and the wolf's teeth that were getting a little too complicated to incorporate in one piece. Next, I moved on to Alice in Wonderland. I had some ideas about creating a piece about the Mad Hatter's Tea Party, the Cheshire Cat, and the Queen of Hearts. Then, I got stuck again. I started to think about the name of the holiday, and wanted to take it literally and try to tell a entire story with one piece. After many google searches, I stumbled upon The Princess and the Golden Ball.
I began the piece by creating the pendant.

The frog (ceramic pendant by beadfreaky) is lifting the golden ball (Czech glass) out of the lake to the princess (crown). Eventually, after some turmoil (short version, lol), they fall in love.

Sarah was inspired by Sleeping Beauty and created a gorgeous bracelet that I love. Do you want to see it? You'll need to hop over to her blog to read about it.
