It's reveal day! As I've mentioned before, I love, love, love being part of the
Znet Shows Design team. Their products are not only beautiful, but a great value as well. Here's a quick look at what I was sent as part of the Summer Days and Nights challenge:
You can find a more detailed description
here, but let's get to the finished products.
For my daytime set, I chose those lovely
opaque purple barrel nugget cultured sea glass beads.

With the addition of some some purple stone beads and a few sparkly metallic crystal beads, this set came together very quickly.
I wanted to do something a little more dramatic for the nighttime set, and those Blossom Pink
cultured sea glass free form flat pendants kept calling my name. While at a local bead store, I found some light pink agate dagger beads, some light pink crystals and voila!

Here's another look at this set:
But there were more beads waiting to be played with, and because I'm having SO much fun making wire bangles ( you can see some of the goodies on my
Facebook page) these
cultured sea glass rondelle beads in Cherry Red were just right to make this splash of color bangle.

Your nighttime set is spectacular. I love the colors and design.
ReplyDeleteI like how you added the stone beads to the daytime set. Your night time necklace is a delight! Dramatic and romantic at once. I also love the pop of the red on your clever wire bangle!
ReplyDeleteOh, your designs came together so beautifully! While I'm no fan of frilly pink, that pink necklace totally makes a girly statement that's perfect for a summer night out! You did an outstanding job with your sea glass!
ReplyDeleteGreat pieces! That nighttime look is quite a statement! I love that little red and gold bangle too.
ReplyDeleteI love your monochromatic designs. They really work and would be so wearable. Beautifully done and displayed.
ReplyDeleteThose purple barrels were my favorite thing to design with this time too! I can't just pick one of your pieces as a favorite though - they are all FANTASTIC! Such cool summery energy in those pale colors..... Isn't this fun? :)
ReplyDeleteChristie, your pieces are so pretty... I had the same lavender barrel beads to work with...weren't those fun! And I think we had the same pink beads too...very yummy designs...oh and your bangle...sweet! I am toying with the idea of making some bangles... :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat designs! I really like your daytime set. Perfect for adding a dose of femininity to jeans and a t-shirt.
ReplyDeleteYour designs are wonderful. I also like the bangle!
ReplyDeleteBeautifuL. Love the copper bangle the most!
ReplyDeleteOrdinarily, I would be drawn first to that purple set because purple is my favorite thing but I fell in love with the light and airy colors in that second set! It's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! While I not a great fan of the color pink, I love your nighttime set with the pink sea glass. Wearable and classy.
ReplyDeleteI adore your sets...the colors are to die for! You really showcased the beads beautifully.
ReplyDeleteHi Christie, I got some of the purple barrels too but I did not use them. I will soon though. Great designs in all of your pieces. The red rondelles really pop on your bangle.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lot of us got those lavender barrel beads! Lovely designs and really like the soft feminine look of that pink shard necklace
