Heather and Lorelei's Michaels Challenge

saw this Michaels challenge on the Humblebeads blog and knew I wanted to participate.  Check out these beads - 



Super cute, right?  They didn't have the faceted stone beads and I added some green glass rondells, resin flowers and rhinestone spacer beads.  But those frosted beads looked like snowballs to me and I have this secret yearning for a snowy, wintry Christmas.  But, seeing as I live in Orlando, these little snowball beads are the closest I'm going to get.  Here's what I made-

Part of the challenge was to incorporate beads from a small business, a bead store or bead artist.  I picked out this fun cream colored flower pendant that I actually won this year from a blog giveaway with Lorelei Eurto.  It's from Classic Bead.


I also added a little Humblebeads spacer and strung it with some waxed linen.  This next one is my favorite.


I just can't even with that little fox bead.  He's wearing a scarf and is too stinking cute.  My little fox and the rest of the polymer clay beads come from Humblebeads too.


I made two pairs of earrings with the leftovers.  


That's all, please visit everyone else to see what they made.  Thanks for stopping by!

  2. Aren't Heather's beads the best? I love her fox. I don't actually have the one. The horror! I like to think I own one of every one she makes, but I missed this one. And if you really want snow, come on up! We will be getting some for a white Christmas for sure. Love the necklace. It is wintry without being too stark. Very lovely, as ever! Enjoy the day! Erin

  5. Gorgeous designs! I just love that necklace. It would go great with a longer tunic sweater and boots.

  6. I would wear the necklace and those little rose earrings together. They are so pretty and go perfectly with those beads from Michaels's.
