One night I was online and I had the idea to contact my friend Lorelei Eurto of Lorelei's Blog and ask her if she would like to do another challenge. I had so much fun participating in her previous challenges that I was itching to do another one. Lorelei said sure and so off to Limabeads.com we went. Lorelei contacted Lima Beads (Kevin, Aly and Cathy, THANK YOU!) and they agreed to our idea of putting together our choices into kits for our readers to easily participate in this online design challenge.
Nothing challenging about it really, you just buy the kit and make something pretty with the beads.
We'll all blog about our finished pieces on a set date! The idea of this challenge is to each have the same components and beads, and then we each make something of our own imaginations, which shows the versatility of the beads chosen.
Together Lorelei and I picked some beauties - in the kit you will find all of the beads and components shown in this photo collage, but here's the rundown:
Abalone Mosaic Cylinder 20x10mm
Antique Copper (plated) Flat Oval Cable w/ Barbell Chain
Czech Fire Polished Glass Luster Prairie Green Round 10mm
Czech Glass Gladiola Flower Button 12x7mm

FAQS:
The kits will be available on a first-come first-served basis.
There are quite a few kits available, but if you want to participate, I suggest you head over to purchase your kit as soon as you can.
You MUST use at least some of the beads in the kit. Feel free to substitute your own beads into your project.
You may make multiple pieces for this challenge, the more the merrier.
You may use an additional pendant with the Vintaj Scrollwork pendant or you can substitute something else in place of it if you want.
You can substitute a different clasp if you'd rather use something else but we really liked this one from MissFickleMedia.

It is such a beautiful kit you have put together Shannon and Lorelei! YUM. I couldn't resist it. Even though I know I will be very busy the coming period. Thank you so much!
Wonderful kit. I have mine ordered already. Am looking forward to this. Thanks so much for putting it together with Lorelei.
Very pretty kit and great idea! Glad to see you sold out!!! Have fun!!!
Yay, I'm so excited that I managed to snag a kit. But I'm also a bit nervous. The beautiful kit came in the mail yesterday and already I'm struggling to make things look like they do in my head. I can't wait to see all the creations.
Can't wait until my kit arrives. Happy creating.
Waiting for my kit to arrive. Happy creating everyone!
