Michael's Challenge Blog Hop

Another great Michael's Challenge, the brainchild of Lorelei Eurto. This is the second challenge I've participated in and I have to say this one was a struggle for me. I sat down numerous times and must have created 5-6 incarnations until almost at the last minute I finally found the design I was happy with.

This is entirely put together with wirework which I don't think I've ever done before. I guess that's why they call it a challenge eh!

Here is my final Necklace and coordinating Earrings using the beads chosen by Lorelei and my addition of colorful Resin Rings from ArtBeads and absolutely wonderful Lampwork Beads by Pinocean on Etsy. I've been coveting those cute little beads for some time and I was not disappointed!





Now it's time to HOP along to the other blogs
 to see what they've whipped up with the same ingredients, have fun!!!

  1. I love those colorful rings with the components of the challenge. Great choice. Wonderful necklace. I know what you mean about having to work through ideas before coming up with something that makes us happy. It seems to always happen to me. Less this time than in the last challenge.

  8. Wow! Your necklace is so pretty and colorful. I did not participate in the design part of this blog hop, because I could not wrap my head around the neutrality of the beads. You incorporated so much color and life! Love the lampwork beads too!

  9. So pretty! I love the resin rings and lampwork bead! You've managed to make a gray and wintry palette look like spring! Now if you could only do that outside my windows. ;-) Beautiful work!
