A few weeks ago, I was able to be involved with a bead swap with Donna M Hoblit of Vera Donna Treasures. Lori Anderson was our host!
In my last post, I showed off some of the things she sent. In this post, I decided to show you all the pretties she sent, and what I did with them.
Aren't these beautiful lilac sea glass beads?
Love these Ancient Roman glass beads!
A blue and white bracelet bar...
...a lilac bracelet bar....
...and a cream color bracelet bar!
How about these beautiful lampwork bead?
So, to put it all together!
I love this bracelet!
Then I decided to use the blue bracelet bar as a focal for this necklace.
I think it pairs nicely with the wave bead she sent....
...and the Ancient Roman glass beads. I decided to add some freshwater pearls I got from Puerto Rico.
This is what the back of the bracelet bar look like.
Then, I had to make some matching earrings!
Now for the lavender sea glass beads....
I decided to use the cream colored bracelet bar, and more of my Puerto Rican freshwater pearls. These pearls are bumpy! Then I added some copper butterflies and champagne crystals.
The bracelet goes with both the necklaces!
Thank you, Donna for these gorgeous pieces. I enjoyed working with different elements that were new to me.
