I wanted to share a really fun Blog Hop that Lorelei Eurto has going on her blog:
Lorelei had anyone who wanted to participate in this blog hop to go to Michael's and purchase these beads (don't you just love all the different colors and textures?):
Participants were then to create a piece of jewelry using all of the beads and the chain and then post pictures of what they made.
So, without further ado, here is my challenge piece:
I've had the collage/ICE Resin focal made for quite some time, and have been waiting for a project in which to use it. the colors from this challenge perfectly suited the old-fashioned but modern feel of my focal, and I jumped right in.
I have to admit, I tried and tried (and tried, and tried, and tried), but couldn't work in the white chain or tiny green pearls (ask my husband - I think he saw about 10 incarnations of this necklace before I finally admitted defeat!).
What a fun challenge! I encourage you to go over to Lorelei's blog and to the blogs listed below to check out the amazing jewelry made with these beads:
Thanks so much Lorelei for hosting this fun hop!
Great!
Just love your style - every piece you make is so identifiable as yours.Beautiful !!!
I love it! I love the wire wrapping on the white pearls, the dark wire against the white- beautiful! I hope you can find something more fitting to do with the white chain. I saw another blogger today who distressed the chain which I thought was a great idea!
Thank you for participating!
Wonderful! Love your pendant and your wire wraps!
Wow! You created an artifact! Everything is so precise and perfect, and it seems so old, like a lost treasure resurfaced. I especially adore what you've done with those pearls. :)
Great job! I really love your focal. Thanks for sharing! :)
Love, yes love the resin focal- very nice design!!
I think we might have all had trouble with that white chain. In any case, what you've created in simply divine!!!
i feel you pain about the white chain..haha
love the focal and your wire strapped beads..beautiful
I don't blame you for dumping the white chain...what you created without it is divine :)
Great piece! I love the dark wire wrapping and the focal!
I like how you wire wrapped the light colors. It looks great. I am thinking of distressing the chain for further use. White is just too much for my stash. LOL! It has been a fun challenge
I feel your pain! I think I took the neckalce apart four or five times before I was finally satisfied! I love your wirewrapping around the beads and your focal is so pretty! Nicely done!
Such a beautiful piece! That focal is beautiful...ICE is wonderful stuff, isn't it? And yep, the pearls (both green and white) and the white chain were a sticking point with me too!
LOVELY focal - I wish i could make lovely things like that! And I love how you have wrapped some of the beads.
Well Ive got to say that after your Many tires you have made a simply bravo pc Molly. Just very Beautiful!!! Your pc is Alive for sure and the wire wrapped has put an edge on it. I am in love with this!! lol. Yup.
I love your pendant and your wire wrapping is a unique take on this project.
Oh, my Molly...absolutely beautiful! Taking Michael's components, but not compromising your beautiful style..LOVE!
That's why it is called a challenge, right? I love how you wrapped the beads with the dark wire. That ties it all together. And of course your pendant is beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Enjoy the day!

love the wire wrapping of the pearls. very pretty piece!
I love the way you wire wrapped the pearls. I never would have thought of that! What a beautiful necklace!
Great design and I love the dark wire against the luster of the pearls.
What a fun and modern piece you've created! The wire is sort of like a river that runs through the entire piece, bringing all the elements together. Nicely done!
Love your focal - I would love to try resin sometime soon! Your wire wrapping is awesome
Love the dark/light movement throughout your piece. A real beauty.
that focal is the best thing about it! and you made it yourself. lovely.
I also really love the wire wrapping you did here. Wish there was a Michaels near me... i'd be all over this challenge!

I'm in love with that focal! Love the wraps and just the whole look of your necklace, great design.
GORGEOUS!
Alright, I have found you and of course, I had to go blog hopping to boot. Love your blog. The necklace you made for this challenge is beautiful. How delightful to see what you and so many others are doing with beads; the creative juices a flowing!
Looking forward to spending eternity getting to know one another better. Or will that be necessary? Will we all know one another perfectly to begin with? We shall see. What I know for sure is that we will spend eternity getting to worship our Lord together. :)
In the meantime, see you around bloggyland.
WOW just so beautiful Molly
So gorgeous! Love the pendant, but also how you accented with the bead necklace.
