Lorelei's Michael's Challenge ReVeal and Blog Hop!

This was the sneak peek from yesterday.

Lorelei's 2nd Michael's challenge involved
finding the beads
that she chose.
This time,
the beads were the green label beads.







I was not able to find all the beads,
so,
I had to improvise.




I substituted the blue checkerboard beads and the square crystal beads.
I also added the long white patterned beads in the upper right corner.
Not pictured here is the lampwork heart bead that I made and used as the focal.
I used the chain as a necklace extender.
I am able to slip this necklace over my neck.
It will look great with my Xmas outfit.
So,
the time has come to
REVEAL
my necklace.


Are you ready?



This is going to be fun to wear.
Now,
start clicking on the links so that you can blog hop with us
and
see all the wonderful creations from Michael's beads!

Thank you, Lorelei for organizing this blog hop and challenge!

The Reveal

On October 2, Lorelei Euroto challenged her blog readers. I decided to take up that challenge. Believe me, I am so glad I did! Here's the blog post.

Summarizing quickly, Lorelei challenged her blog readers to go to Michael's and find beads and chain that matched as closely as possible to the ones she chose. Of course, if we weren't able to find the exact matches, we were able to choose those beads and chain that were close.

Here's a look at the beads. I came very close to the ones Lorelei chose.


Now, for the reveal! Be sure to scroll down a bit.

Drum Roll, Please!!!!!!!









I'm so happy! I love my new necklace!
