Today is the reveal of Pine Ridge Beach Blog Hop sponsored by Lisa Lodge. Thank you Lisa for the gorgeous Kit. The primary elements in our kits are sea glass. I was able to create my pieces and complete two challenges in one, lol I am so tickled. These are the strands of Sea Glass and brass elements I received:
The challenge for me were those tiny multi colored disk beads. So I began to lay things out
 
Designs started formulating. I wanted a long Necklace and found this beautiful focal bead that matched all that glass. Well I needed a tassel and the orange tear drops would work.Might also make a couple of pair of earrings from those teardrops.
I always need Bracelets in the summer somrthin a little funky
with matching earrings of course and I used silver metals. Need a pair of Brass Turquoise earrings
Now for my Tassels and Necklace

We're All Ears July Challenge
Welcome to We're All Ears July Challenge Blog Hop. Sponsored by the Earrings Everyday blog. This Month we were given Primitive Folk Art quilts like this one made by women in India as our inspiration.
From my stash I chose a pair of Copper sticks enameled in Red, Blue, with Marigold accents.These sticks were hand made by Cathleen Zaring . I attached these sticks with Vintage Brass non tarnished copper wire to Czech glass flowers in Curry and Bordeaux coloring. (Hope I spelled that right) very colorful with an explosion of colors like the Quilt. 
Thanks for joining me and hop over to the

PINE RIDGE TREASURES SUMMER WATERS CHALLENGE
First I made a Three strand Bracelet using Brass spacers from the kit, Bead caps from my stash, clasp from the kit, chain from my stash and wire wrapped pearls from B'sue Boutiques.
Next I took one of the Aquamarine Sea glass focals and strung a Long Necklace. I added White glass pearls from my stash to the Mix. The Necklace hangs 17 1/2 inches long. Isn't that Bracelet Gorgeous.
This Necklace with the daggers is pretty cool. Sets nicely around your neck and lays flat. Next up I used that second focal in another bracelet with gorgeous Brass connectors and dangles. You know me have to have those dangles. It looks better on the arm than I could photograph, but I love it.

We're All Ears :: June Inspiration
This month' inspiration was a collection of still lifes on Tide pools.
 |
| Illustration by Theo Carreras well known Illustrator of bugs/Insects |
I thought about the Ocean creating swirls of movement blues and white. However this illustration of other creatures was not significant with the color blue. I loved all the orange and red in the illustration above. So my earrings of course had to be Red or Orange, lol and of course some swirls. I added mixed metals for texture. Silver Seashells from stash and Agate gave me a perfect blend for these earrings.

and see what everyone has created.

Sweet Honey Reveal
Welcome to the Sweet Honey Reveal. Our Fabulous Host is The Infamous Andrew Thornton. The kit that each Designer purchased contained these items:
First up I made a beaded bead focal out of some of the seed beads in the kit (upper right hand corner). I will use this Focal at a later date.
Next is the 3 Strand Memory wire Bracelet using the Gem chips and glass beads from the bag in the lower right hand corner.
Well we certainly need earrings to go along with the bracelet in the same Monochromatic color scheme. The two square beads were screaming at me to become earrings.
The Surprise Focal included in our Kits resembling Honey Comb, I Fashioned into a Necklace with beads, cube beads from the Kit and crystals from my stash,
 |
| Litttle Bee charm also enclosed in the kit. |
Well I need a pair of Vlntage Shoulder Duster Earrings usuing my Favorite Vintage Brass connectors from B'Sue Boutiques, some Spectra beads which are glass beads with these little designs etched onto them and little glass czech flower beads.
I have a Purer going might as well create another Bracelet, I certainly have enough beads for one, and my favorite connectors
This was a fantastik kit of items and I had fun. I was able to blog and spend a little time with you, hope you enjoyed my Sweet honey Collection and jump over and visit the other Participants
