ZnetShows Partner Picks Summer Challenge and Giveaway!

At the beginning of June, Bill Zhang with ZnetShows asked his Design Team to "partner up" for a Summer Beach-theme Challenge. To sweeten the deal, he's added a Giveaway into the mix!!!

 INSPIRATION:  THE BEACH

 

Instructions: Each person picked 7 different items from Znetshows.com's showroom of beads for their corresponding partner.
 



These are the items my partner, Christina Miles, picked for me based on beach pictures like the ones above.










This wonderful stash of surprises arrived the second week in June. The creating fun began ------


Pendant made from Cultured Sea Glass shield triangle pendants (P46-B39) with Glass Wine Teardrop Pearls (BDS1867-06).


These are matching earrings made from Cultured Sea Glass triangle pendants (P46-B39) and Glass Wine Teardrop Pearls (BDS1867-06). 

I forgot to attach the ear wires before I took the picture :(










An anklet with Green Fire Agate Barrel beads (BDS1848-03) and Base Metal Flat beads (MO259-AS) 















A loose choker necklace of Green Fire Agate Barrel beads (BDS1848-03), Black Cable style faceted Chinese Crystal Glass Rondelle beads (RS114-02AB), Flat Base Metal beads (M0044-AS), Red Bamboo Coral beads (CB157-01), Wine Glass Teardrop Pearls (BDS1867-06).








Cuff bracelet with Green Fire Agate Barrel beads (BDS1848-03).




These earrings can be worn separately or with any of the above pieces. The turtles originally had a hoop at the end of the face where the mouth would be. I felt it detracted from the turtle, which is one of my favorite animals, so I removed it or rather my husband helped me. Then I sanded off the remainder. Now, the turtle stands out! Next, I punched holes in the shell & on one foot. So much better! I used the Base Metal Turtle Charms (M0044-AS), Green Fire Agate Barrel beads (BDS1848-03), the Red Bamboo Coral beads (CB157-01), and the Wine Glass Teardrop Pearls (BDS1867-06).





Beautiful Peacock Chinese Crystals Glass Rondelle earrings. (RS114-106)
