What an extremely busy week this has been.
I was afraid I was not going to get this posted on time,
but guess what??
I did it!
What is this you ask?
Well Sally Russick of The Studio Sublime
put out a call for a Black and White Challenge.
All we have to do is design
a piece of jewelry using the black and white pallet.
a piece of jewelry using the black and white pallet.
I had a few pandora beads that I have been wanting to use for a while,
I wanted to put them into a design
other than a pandora type bracelet.
I glued some bead caps to the ends and then wire wrapped them.
Added a string of white seed beads and then
some silver chain I had.
Here is another shot of it.
I will be putting this up in my etsy soon.
Here is the list of other participants of the challenge

Thanks Sally for a fun challenge.
I really enjoyed this.
Have a great day!
Yay, welcome to the party, Mischelle! What an elegant and bright bracelet design... I am especially impressed by your clever re-do of the Pandoras. I have seen really cute large-hole beads that I didn't buy, since I rarely work with that style, but now I'll be taking a second look at them.
ReplyDeleteThanks hun. I had those pandora's for about a year and had to do something with them.. lol I really don't like to use them because of the huge hole but this seems to work out well.
DeleteHi Mischelle,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful piece, I like that it is mostly white with just splashes of black. Neat idea about gluing the bead caps to the large holed beads.

Thanks Therese! I tend to gravitate towards black alot and thought I would move out of that comfort zone.
DeleteOh how neat those pandora beads look with their caps on :) Pretty design, and so glad you made it through the hectic week!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kashmira. I think I may use this idea for a few more I have.. lol I almost did not make it through the week.. lol
DeleteThis is a great idea to alter the Pandora beads with bead caps- I love this! There are so many large hole beads "out there" and this is a fantastic way to incorporate them into everyday designs. Beautiful necklace!
ReplyDeleteThanks Patti! I know I tend to stay away from big holed beads. But now I think I may use them more often ;)
DeleteIt's gorgeous! I love all the wonderful textures. I have never used Pandora beads but I do have some lampwork beads with large holes and always have difficulty with them sitting straight. Looks like you have found a solution.
ReplyDeleteThanks Alice! I know I was getting frustrated trying to get the pandora's to sit straight.. LOL
Deletethis is Beautiful!!! I really like the different strands. It is so cool how a simple strand of seed beads can really support those pandoras!
ReplyDeleteThank you Christine :)
DeleteMischelle, you have yourself a beautiful black and white design! I love the way the black perfectly accents the white! Beautiful work! Very clever adding the bead caps to the Pandora beads, the bead caps add such an elegance to the bracelet!! Thank you so much for participating in the challenge!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sally for putting on such a great hop. I really enjoyed this one. I don't use bead caps much, but after this I most definitely will not discriminate against them. lol
DeleteOh, I love this! It just pops w/style and is so classy. Lovely design.
ReplyDeleteThanks Shel :)
DeleteOh Mischelle, I have some of those same pandora beads, but my muse could never have given me the wonderful piece you created with them!
ReplyDeleteThank you Marlene :)
DeleteI'm a bracelet fanatic so I loooooooove this piece!!
ReplyDeleteThank you soo much Adrienne
DeleteGreat idea to add bead caps over the pandora beads! You ended up with a very pretty bracelet.
ReplyDeleteThank you soo much Kathy :)
