Lima Beads Challenge Reveal It ALL

Written By: admin - Oct• 08•11

 

Shannon Chomanczuk  and Lorelei Eurto set up another fun filled jewelry design challenge. Thank you Shannon and Lorelei.
They put together a selection of beads from Lima Beads and this is what ended up in the bead kit:

The only items that I did not incorporate into my designs are the Silver Green Biwa Top- Drilled Pearls, the turquoise nuggets and the Flamingo Glace Hand dyed silk ribbon. I chose not to use the pearls because, if the drill holes are there, they are way too tiny. Several had no holes at all. Saving the turquoise for another design. The silk ribbon is gorgeous, so I’m going to enjoy looking at it until the perfect design for it surfaces. I enjoy working with challenges because I get to incorporate components that I would probably never select on my own. Two necklaces with reversible pendants, an owl themed necklace , and one bracelet:

    What wonderful pieces. The owl is my favorite, but then owls remind me of my grandmother so I have an affinity for them.

  7. Such amazing artwork – stunning! My favorite is the owl necklace, as they are my current obsession – lol! Beautiful work! 🙂

  8. Love your designs! I really love how you paired the purple components with red accents! Classic and stunning! Great pieces all of them… and you’re right, the silk is too, too pretty. That’s why it sat on my table for 2 weeks with me oogling over it! LOL
    Have a terrific day!

    Cece, Your work is amazing. I love the knotting/macrame. The colors you chose compliment the beads so well. I adore the first necklace. (I’m a sucker for purple). Thank you so much for such wonderful inspiration.

    Oh my gosh, you made a ton of things and each one is amazing! I am particularly partial to the owl, but I’m sitting here BLOWN AWAY by the focal you created for the green necklace. Incredible. 🙂

  15. Lorelei Eurto says:

    Superb job! You really did amazing, and your photographs are the bomb!!
    Love the red and purple in that first necklace. And the fact that you layered the pendant, that’s my favorite. Love layering lately!
    Your bracelet turned out adorable! Those purple flowers were a bit of a challenge, but not for you!

  16. These are drop-dead gorgeous. I happen to especially love red and purple together so I was drawn to that. I love though how you’ve made colors that are basically muted POP. Great job!
