Welcome to the Do-Over Challenge Blog Hop hosted by the talented Jeannie Dukic of Jewelry By Jeannie. If you remember, in this post I showed you a photo of an old necklace design of Jeannie's that she has challenged me to re-work. To refresh your memory, here is the original necklace:
The necklace had dozens of tiny turquoise chips and pink coral beads that would work well with my newest hobby of beadweaving.
Here is what I made from Jeannie's design:
I made a beaded collage cabochon using coordinating glass beads and the coral beads, as well as adding the beaded tassel with glass and some of the turquoise chips.
Here's a detailed picture of the focal.
I opted for an asymmetrical design, with the turquoise on one side and silver plated chains on the other to balance out the visual weight of the turquoise.
I hope you'll take some time to check out the other amazing artists participating in this fun hop:

Beautiful. I think asymmetrical designs are hard to do but you make it look awesome.
The focal is stunning! I love the asymmetrical design.
GORGEOUS! And I like the term "visual weight" -- I may have to borrow that.
Your seed bead work is amazing!
Incredibly beautiful! I love the woven cab and how you used the coral beads and the turquoise chips. They work so well together in that asymmetric design.
Molly, you've made your "newest" hobby look like you've been doing it for years! The bead weaving is amazing! This is a really beautiful piece of jewelry!

Molly, what a knock-out design! It is really amazing how you transformed the piece entirely. I really love the beaded cabochons that you make - they really blow my mind. I am so impressed with your work in this challenge!
Sweet asymmetrical design. It is one I have a hard time with.
Oh my! You totally transformed that! A new hobby? Watch out world! Molly's got her creative mojo on ;-) That is a dynamite design. Enjoy the day.

A stunning focal! Love the asymmetrical look, too!
I love how you used each part of the orginal piece in a new way. And the result is a lovely necklace! Your focal is gorgeous!
Molly, your beadwork continues to amaze me! I absolutely LOVE the focal that you used/made-- I love the pops of color that you added with the pink beads!
