| Sue Beads Chicklets |
I had seen a previous blog hop using these beads and I thought they were just the cutest little beads. I was disappointed that I missed out on the original cut for signing up for this hop.
I really wanted to try these little beads so I hopped over to Sue's Etsy shop and picked up a couple of chicklets for myself. Rita so graciously let me join into the hop.
It's been awhile since I've done some basic bead stringing and as I pulled out my wire and my crimp beads I was a little stuck as to how I was going to use my chicklets. A bracelet was definitely going to be my choice but how to accomplish that and give the chicklets the respect they were due was a dilemna. My original idea was to use some super duos that I had in a denim color but I couldn't get them to work correctly on my wire. Next I went to my bead stash of sodalite beads - I love blue lapis and sodalite and have a fair amount of beads in those colors. My chickets were a light gray blue that I ended up pairing with several different shapes of sodalite, sterling silver and gray seed beads for a multi strand bracelet. Simple but sweet! Thanks to Rita and Sue for this great blog hop!
