Welcome to C4 blog hop.  I want to thank Sue Kennedy and Rita from Toltec Jewels for allowing me to participate. I know there will be lots of lovely pieces on the various blogs listed below.

I received my Chicklet and took some time to think about colors that would enhance the olive chicklet and hopefully look like candy (Willy Wonka Oompas comes to mind).  I liked the red beads because they are drilled from corner to corner.  I added a mood bead because it changes color and yellow beads for brightness.  I used the purple bead and brass beads for space and asymmetry. What I really like is that on this bracelet the chicklet stays up (on the top of my hand), so many time I will make a bracelet and the focal bead ends up on the inside of my wrist.  So here it is - I find myself wearing bracelet because it has an easy, comfortable feel. Thanks for stopping by.
   I have changed the picture at it shows the bracelet off a bit better:

Very creative design. The flat shape of the chicklets is perfect for bracelets.

Ann Schroeder said...

Very cute bracelet. I love the bright colors. I'm always a fan of beads that look like candy and find myself gravitating to those as well!

Kari Asbury said...

Cute! Love the bright colors and "candy" feel of your design :)

It does remind me of candy. Skittles come to mind. Great bracelet!

Kepi said...

Very cool, super colourful, very cheerful!

Shirley said...

Bright, vibrant colors! I'd like to see it on a more neutral background, to see the colors really pop. Great job!

I love your bracelet!!

It does remind me of a box of chicklets! :)

Unknown said...

What a pretty, fun bracelet! I love the colours you picked to highlight your chicklet.....they work perfectly. Thanks for the inspiration. I have to get braver with colour. It's my biggest challenge these days. Seeing what you have done helps me stretch out into new combinations.

Unknown said...
