2015 Pine Ridge Treasures' Beach Blog Hop!

Hopefully this post is going to work.  Never had so much trouble signing into blogger.

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.
