I was sent the above selection of beads (thanks Cilla for the picture) and given the opportunity to participate in the Beads of Clay Designer Challenge.
Beads were sent by:
Marla James
Karen Totten
Janel Goolsby
Julie McKee Rowe
Eleanor Thomas
Kristi Bowman-Gruel
The rules were simple make 1 pair of earrings and 1 necklace and you must use everything you were sent. Yikes! I didn't think I could do it and it took over 4 hours to make the necklace but I did it! Yes I did. I used everything I was sent and made only 1 necklace and 1 pair of earrings.
I love the dangle detail in the front and especially love the earrings. They are long shoulder dusters and are just fun to wear. The necklace is busier than I would normally make and wear but it is growing on me and I am actually starting to like it.
Thanks for stopping by and hope you will head to the Beads of Clay blog to see the other participants.
