First we will start with BLUE FANTASY!
Here is what i had to start with:
So i looked and looked at this beautiful palate and had many ideas. I set it aside. Suddenly I came down sick ( yes I been sick for a week!!!) So while sick in bed i decided to play with my beads!!! well this is what i was able to come up with.
Usually i use most of the beads in my pack and some of my own but unfortunately this time I wasn't able to. I hope you do enjoy what I did create!!!
Next is ANCHORS AWEIGH!
Yes 2 blog hops while sick!! Again beading in bed! all i could think of with anchors was Coral!! and i played away and this is what i came up with. A pair of earrings with beautiful pair of earrings with beautiful anchors made by suburban girl!
I hope you enjoy both of my posts links to participants in my blog hops are listed below please visit their blogs as well!

Me first! I get to comment first! LOL. It's so coordinating how both of these challenges have similar coloring and worked well for you. My favorite is the NECKLACE. I can totally see a famous model walking down the cat walk wearing just this necklace as their accessory in a white string bikini. You rocked this challenge.
ReplyDeleteHi Heather, Great job. I hope you are feeling better now. My favorite is the necklace. It is very unique and creative.
ReplyDeleteLove all the designs especially those coral earrings! Those just rock!
ReplyDeleteYou made pretty darn good jewelry while sick, Heather! Hope you are feeling better soon. I am loving that chicklet bead necklace, and the anchor earrings are nifty too. Thanks for being in the Blue Fantasy Hop!

ReplyDeleteGreat 'coral' earrings! Before reading the blog, that was my first reacting, coral... (-: Lovely colours... Take care.
ReplyDeleteI love when people are doing more than one challenge because then I get to see twice as many great designs. Stopped by for the Anchors hop, and I adore that beaded coral. Those are some great statement earrings.
ReplyDeleteoh wow love the idea of putting coral with your anchors! what a brilliant idea!! well done
