Bead Hoarders Blog Hop



The Bead Hoarders Blog Hop Is By Lori Anderson. Thank you so much for hosting this blog hop. The blog hop can be seen at: http://jewelrydesignchallenges.blogspot.com
I just came back from San Francisco and didn't have much time to work on this hop.
What I did is I just finished some pieces that were started a long time ago and just waiting to be completed.
My first piece is a pearl cuff done in right angle weave and I used Swarovski crystals in hana ami motif. 


This is a necklace with seed beads and glass beads. 




I bought these beads about five years ago and they were just sitting there because I didn't know what to make out of them. 
So I made this necklace. 
Thank you again to Lori Anderson for hosting this blog hop. Please make sure that you visit her blog and see what the other participants created at http://jewelrydesignchallenges.blogspot.com

I absolutely love everything black and white.
My partner from the Bead Soup(my first Blog Hop) Liz E., knows how much I love black and white, so she e-mailed me the link for this challenge(thank you Liz).
My first bracelet is using tila and superduo beads. This a web inspiration.

This second bracelet is using white pearls, fire polished beads, seed beads and machine cut crystals. I love this pattern.
And finally the earrings: I used black and white superduos, seed beads and machine cut crystals.
Thank you again Sally for this wonderful challenge, and please visit all the other participants so you can see what their creations are.
