Choosy Chicks Choose Chicklets Blog Hop Reveal

Looking for my HABY HOP REVEAL?
HERE IS THE LINK :) 



WELCOME TO MY C5 REVEAL! 


A couple months ago, I asked for help. I had so many chicklets...


SueBeads chicklets, that is! 



So, I sent my chicklets off to artists around the globe, and today, we reveal our chicklets designs. 
They are certain to be fabulous because Choosy Chicks Choose Chicklets! 

My wonderful SueBeads! Note how Kennedy's art is so superb, she can create almost exact sized pairs --
a skill even the most experienced lampworkers comment on as her work is excellent and special!
What shall I make next? :) 




With my bead, I decided to celebrate summer and create with soft, opaque peach quartz I've been saving for several years. I kept a pretty peach chicklet for my design & mailed off a rainbow!

From Little House on the Suburban Prairie blog

I love the way the soft peach of the floral lampwork bead coordinates with the warm, soft gem. 


For splashes of summer sparkle, I added bright copper, glowing Czech flowers & iridescent leaf and lots of Swarovski Light peach Champagne crystals along with the natural quartz stones. 


I love this warm & summery necklace, and with such great color, I will wear it often, through all seasons.



Enjoy the hop! And be sure to check back next Sunday for the winner of $25 at:


Thank you everyone for joining in the challenge and sharing your talents.
 I'm honored to create with you all.
 And a special thank you to Susan Kennedy for being our featured artist!

    Oh! We may have designed with the same color! I love how your necklace turned out, though. I didn't think I liked orange, but it's growing on me ;)

    Oh Rita! That peach gemstone just works so well with your Chicklet! I love the colors, the design.. I just love your necklace!!! Thank you so much for hosting us!

    Our beads are very similar, Rita, and yet our designs very different! I always love to see that happen! I'm in awe of how well you coordinated yours with like-color beads, while I rather did the opposite. Beautiful order vs. crazy chaos! What a fun time either way! Thank you so very much for hosting and letting me "squeak" into your event! I so appreciate your generosity! All the Best! ~Sharyl

    I am a stalker of Sue's beads and totally agree with all of your compliments to her!

    LOVE this necklace - the focal element you created is perfection! Peach is not an easy color for me (like yellow!) but you have outdone yourself!

    What a great necklace. But what is really striking me as I cruise these blogs is the serendipity(yes, that word again) of the color choices. Everyone is able to match their chicklet up with other amazingly apt components that match exactly . this hop has been a lot of fun

The chicklet bead is a perfect match and the necklace beautiful.Thanks again for the wonderful beads and fun blog hop. As I said before you really are the Queen of Blog Hops this summer.
