My partner Marianne Baxter sent me several challenges. The first was a focal bead that was made by Debbie Hull. The colors remind me of the sea. I also received two starfish. I think you can probably see or sea the direction I went with the challenge.
Also included in my package were gold tube beads. I had fun with the pink beads and gold tubes making a bracelet. It is nice and light weight for the summer!
There was a fun bag of hexagon crystal beads and a second bag of a mixture of beads. I mixed both with some other crystals and made a memory wire bracelet. I loved using memory wire because I am clasp challenged. I am switching back to either memory wire or magnetic clasps.
Marianne is also studying glass work! She sent me a beautiful pendant and earrings! I would encourage her to continue her lampwork. When you visit her site please give her words of encouragement ! I love the pieces she sent me.
Now I am going to send you hopefully to Marianne’s site.

Such a WONDERFUL job! I really like the memory wire bracelet and I’m kinda really lovin’ the gold bracelet. It’s simple but elegant and gorgeous! The first bracelet is a real stunner, too! What a beautiful array of pieces!

The pink and gold bracelet is a real beauty and so is the memory wire bracelet. They are perfect for showing off in the spring and summer.
Hi Laurie, great job using your beads. I like the first piece. The memory wire bracelet is a clever way to use the gold tubes.
Lovin that last pair of earrings! Simple, but beautiful.
Great job, I like the very colorful and eclectic bracelet
I’m not sure what happened to my first comment so I’ll mention again how much I liked the blue lampwork and the memory wire bracelet! And I think the tubes are a smart way to decorate a piece of jewelry and make it lighter!
Love both bracelets!! Beautiful detail and great colors! Be Blessed!
Great job on all pieces. fabulous soup mix. Love the memory wire bracelet.
Well done
Great work! I love the second bracelet I too love using memory wire, it is so easy to use and put on! The lampwork bead in the first bracelet is awesome. I envy people who can do that. I am to afraid of fire to that, but there are some awesome pieces being made. Thanks for posting!
While i really like all the pieces that you made I LOVE everything about the memory wire one!
Beautiful! I’m clasp challenged too and I just love memory wire bracelets!
Super stuff. I love memory wire too & your idea of using those tubes on the bracelet is wonderful!
