Lisa advertised this particular blog hop last year and I hurriedly signed up as she has a limited number of kits. I don't know if Lisa did it on purpose because she says that she sends the kits out blindly but I received a kit in my favorite shades of gold/topaz.
Beads included in kit. |
I did pretty good at using most of the beads in the kit.
Swarovski crystal earrings |
Pearl and rounds earrings |
Here are two other pair of earrings that I made using some of the pearls, topaz round beads, and lt. topaz rondells.
Memory wire bracelet |
The last of the beads were used to make this necklace.

Thanks for stopping by. Be sure to visit the other bloggers to see what they have made.

Those are beautiful colors, beautiful work and good job using so many of your beads. [I had a tough time using all mine].
ReplyDeleteAlways great to get to work in a favourite colour palette. Love the earring with the crystal leaves.
ReplyDeleteI love your color palette also and you did such an artistic job incorporating your bead kit into finished and beautiful work. I love that you remembered to take a picture of all your beads before starting your projects . . . I always forget that step and it makes the end blog so much better. Thanks for sharing!!!
