LORELEI'S CHALLENGE

Lorelei challenged us to use the same beads and see what we could come up with. This was too much fun once I got on a roll, however I do admit I was stumped at first. Just how would I combine all these elements into one cohesive design? Since I am trying out some new ideas of Mix-and-Match I combined this idea I have been exploring into a whole jewelry wardrobe. Pardon the pictures, my good camera is down and I had to make do with my phone. To see images larger, please click on them.

Recipe:
Take one Bracelet
add an Extender














Mix with a Converter
and throw in a pair of Earrings

Yield:
One Bracelet or















One long necklace or














One Choker















Earrings














What a way to extend a budget while having the right length to go with any outfit!

How about the Polka-Dot Variation:
Bracelet














Long Necklace














Choker














Earrings 2














Earrings 3

What a great idea to make several pieces that can be mixed and matched to get a whole lot of different designs -- the sum is even more than the parts!
