Rondelles Challenge




I am going to work with my man today, but wanted to show you what's new in the SueBeads shop! Rondelles! They aren't the same as the other ones I loved so much, and don't have any more of, and can't find any more of! But they are cool just the same. I made earrings from them - what do you think you would do with them? Want to show me? I will pick 5 people to participate in a challenge! You will receive a pair of these rondelle beads and we'll have a blog hop to see what you made!

Just comment on this post by Wednesday evening at 8 pm. I'll choose 5 random people to receive a random pair of these rondelles! We'll do a little blog hop on May 26th! That should give everyone enough time to get something done, especially if you are participating in other hops!

Well it would just be rude not to volunteer wouldn't it.
Love those colours - please put my name in the hat Sue.
I think they are very cool, almost a sea urchin look because of the almost bubbly texture. You know I'd love to play!

Me Me Me :) I would love to play!! Been admiring your enamel beads in your store and would love to see them (and play with them) in person. I need a new summer bracelet, so that is what I would make with them!

Oh, jumping up and down, pick me, pick me! :) I so love your enameled beads. And the colors you chose are wonderful. I can already think of a couple of things I would do, so a resounding YES!

I think I'd do earrings, too, but I'd like to play with them a little too - maybe cute little danglies hanging from the rondelle to make it look like cute little ear lamps :o)
Beautiful beads! I'd love a chance to try them. Thanks so much for the entry.

OOH! I love these colors and their lacy little edges. I think that their squishy shape is more appealing to me than rounds. I have been on a bangle kick and I think that this might be just the thing to add to the stack that I have been amassing. You do such lovely work Miss Sue! I look forward to seeing what someone does with these beauties. Enjoy the day. Erin
Love these! You know I am a lover of your beads...lampwork or enamel!!! I would love a challenge! Regardless if chosen or not, I will be sure to visit your blog hop!
Those are stunning! I would love to participate! I have a few ideas...

I love them and would love a chance to be part of your challenge. I'm not sure what I'd do with them yet, but am already brainstorming ideas. Thanks for the opportunity.

Hey, what up with the comments? Is your comment acceptor working? Or whatever it's called. I left a comment last night. Would love a chance to try something with rondelles. I figured the competition would be fierce, but when I checked back....0 comments.
Hmmm. Not even mine. Also, if no one responds maybe I'll get to be the randomly selected one!
I know I'm not alone in wanting to play with these fun shapes........

I want to play! I haven't made anything new in ages and would love to get motivated. :)

Oh, hey, these are totally *my* colors! I'd love to win and participate! Thanks for offering these lovelies up :)

The Tacky Earring Blog Hop

Diana Ptaszynski had a great idea, instead of a Tacky Christmas Sweater blog hop, a Tacky Holiday Earring blog hop! I was on it.  I had ideas right away.  I had so many I had to control myself.  You can buy these for $15 each, too!  Here we go! I found these awesome wreaths in the miniature Christmas section in Michaels, and they go perfectly with silver and copper colored plastic beads! These trees were found in Michaels, on an end-cap - I assume they are scrapbook or card making supplies, but make fantastic earrings.  The holes were a little small and far down, so I had to make LARGE loops.  Paired these with cute little gold colored jingle bells! And, finally, the ones I had in my head the moment she announced the blog hop.  Dr. Seuss sparkly puff balls with ribbons.  The only thing that would have made these better for me is if I could have found the red ribbons I really wanted to pair these with - don't get me wrong, the silver is cool and all, but in my head they w
