Chicklets Challenge

Coming up all to soon is 
   Choosy Chicks Choose Chicklets Challenge 
so I am in the process of completing my piece. 
Sue Beads was kind enough to donate 45 chicklets 
so there will be lots of pieces to view.

Gemstone & Metal Blog Hop 2014 Reveal



Good Morning and sorry for the delay in posting - but it's the morning of the 19th so I'm in time.
I received a wonderful assortment of Aventurine from Lisa Lodge for this blog hop but am not sure what I did with the picture I took of the beads.  Update - I finally found it:

 

That said, I competed two pieces and would have liked to have had more done but have been dealing with health issues. 

Here are the pieces I completed and I am looking forward to seeing the many wonderful items that others have done.  The necklace is for our granddaughter who is eight and the bracelet is for a friend whose jewelry was stolen earlier this year. 

I have retaken the pictures and at the bottom of the blog you can see the original blah picture. 
The  great thing about blog hops is that I see and read others presentations and use the information to improve what I do.
