Heather's Jewelry Making Mojo Challenge

I don't know about you but I seem to do better at getting to the bead table when I have a little nudge.

Heather Powers is hosting a Jewelry Making Mojo Challenge on her blog.

Every Monday she posts a suggestion to get the creative juices flowing.

This week we are to create our own 'bead soup' from our stash and hopefully make something with it.

So here are the beads I chose from my stash.

You might notice the bright colors, and that's because I am so ready to leave winter behind and  for spring to take it's place.

My bead soup has some wonderful enameled beads and clasp from Bead Swede Studios, and the cutest little lampwork spacers from the Spacer Bead Shop plus a lovely charm from Gaea

And here is what I made: I switched out the round clasp for a longer one from Bead Swede.

'Hurry Up Spring"

Earrings Everyday Earring Challenge

I'm so happy that Earrings Everyday is hosting a monthly Earring Challenge.

Above is our inspiration photo.

I mostly focused on color and texture from the photo.
