But this is supposed to be about a bead challenge and not my computer problems.
Lisa Lodge from A Grateful Artist blog sponsored another bead challenge this week.
I purchased a kit with lots of lovely beads and was able to make two necklaces and two earring sets. But first off is the set of beads that I received from Lisa.
Cultured seaglass in aqua, cobalt blue, medium blue and a lovely lavender that reminds me of Alexandrite without the color changes.
The first set that I made was using the lavender with some purplish crystals that were included in the kit along with the silver rectangular spacers also included.
The other set that I made used the cobalt blue, the aqua nuggets, and more of the silver spacers.
Some how I only managed to get a shot of the blue earrings by themselves so here they are.
I still have some lovely beads left and will try to get another set done.
Please stop by and visit the other bloggers that are participating in the challenge.
