Tesha - Task 1A, b & c, Beaded cluster & critter

Kathy.

 I finally found some time to do some bead stitching!!! 

Here is a photo of Task 1a & 1b:

I decided to make a beetle bug "critter" based on the limited selection of beads I had available in my stash at home.  

Here is Task 1c:

I made a circle shape (but a bit bigger than your template Kathy) because I had larger buttons and beads on hand.  I am delighted with the way the finished crescent turned out.  I decided not to make this shape into an ornament because I think the colors and shape will look really good on a CQ block I have recently started (see photo below):

It was fun to learn how to create my own unique-in-all-the-world cluster of beads!  

Now on to Task 2...
