Studio Sublime Design Challenge!!

Sally Russik of Studio Sublime put out a challenge in January to get some of her new summer brights enameled beads and create them into a spring/summer design!! 

I jumped right in and she sent me this beautiful Sodalite Blue focal with some lime green accent beads!



I wanted to pair it up with some more brights, so although the coloring is a little off, these are some bright pink pearled type beads and a bright silver chain.


I wanted to keep it soft and perfect for spring and summer so I added some wood natural colored beads mixed in with the blue and lime enameled beads.

I topped it off with a silk flower in the same color of blue as the focal to bring it all together!

I hope you like it and check out everyone else that took part in this challenge!  Thank you, Sally, for putting it all together!

    What a great Necklace! Fantastic colors and I love the romance of the flower and how that balances the lentil.

    What a really fun necklace you created. I like that you used the lentil bead off-set and matched it with the silk flower. The natural wood beads with the green beads sprinkled in is super! You made a great necklace that I can see a variety of women wearing.

    Kristi, I love your design very light and summery and looks like it could be worn to a casual or semi formal event.
