Chunky Bead Challenge Reveal

 This is what I came up with for

the Chunk Bead Challenge.

 C-Koop Grey enameled beads 

with impression Jasper,

and the altered clay "K" beads.

 I can shift this necklace around to 

wear in in various ways

With the 2 left over beads  I made this necklace

These large over sized lacy sp metal beads are a 

gift from my Mom.

Ahh the effects of color.

How different the altered beads look in 

each of the necklaces.

Thanks to Katherine T. for wanting to play

 along and a
Thank You to all of you who

Chunky Bead Challenge.

A Chunky Bead Challenge

Using what I refer to as "K"Beads

(beads that were gifted to me by Kay,

 my Mom's friend.)

I have asked Katherine T.

to join me in a Chunky Challenge

using these beads.

We can paint them, stain them,

alter them any way we want.

Before and After.

And pair them up with anything we want.

Here is a sneak peak to 

what I might be using.

But we have to use those "K"  beads.

So check back at the end of the month

if you'd like to see what we come up with!

Do you have some Chunky beads in your
