This wasn't what I was going to make. In fact I ordered beads, but they did not arrive in time. So I ran to Michael's at the last minute, something I REALLY hate to do, and purchased these metallic rounds and ceramic discs. They really go well with the piece Karen made.
I used the green metallic rounds because they really matched with my olive pie. The discs are in shades of butter yellow, brown, and rust red, and really give the whole piece an autumnal feel.
I finished the piece off with antiqued copper chain and toggle clasp. All in all, even though it wasn't what I was going to make, I do like it!
Please take a look at what everyone else made with their pie, including our three special guest designers!

Love those colors and your design too!
I know what you mean about using Michael's beads but they are a fantastic addition to your beautiful piece. Nicely done Sue!!
Michaels is a challenge - yet you found the right beads! I like their size paired with Karen's bead. Great palette. Overall a win - win!
I know you hated going to michaels but this is gorgeous!!!! I love it!
Sue, besides the fact that I just love this necklace, I love the fact that you show what can be done with craft store beads. You made the piece look so expensive and original. Great design!
I love the pie bead you received from Karen, the color is dee-lish!
Your necklace is bold and beautiful!
Sorry you did not get your beads ontime! But, this necklace is beautiful!
I think this is really beautiful Sue! I love the Fall feel of this - so perfectly in tune with the olive green leaf design of the bead!
This turned out great! I have not seen those beads at Michaels. I have amassed quite a stash from there. I think that the colors work really well with the focal from Karen. A beautiful design! Enjoy the day. Erin
It turned out great! Those ceramic discs are a good choice, and the varied colors make the focal really pop.
Your piece turned out gorgeous! Love the colors, but I am not ready to skip spring and summer yet :-)
Sue, love this necklace! It's gorgeous.
I love your necklace! Makes me wonder what you would've done with the beads you intended. Will you make another one?
Excellent choice of colors to go with the pie bead! ::high fives::
I don't think anyone would have guessed those are Michael's beads! you did a wonderful job of matching and combining them with your PIE. The necklace is great ~
Sue...this is so pretty! I love the beads you chose from Michael's! I would totally wear this!
I can't even imagine what you had envisioned originally, but this is so gorgeous! The earthiness you achieved with it really appeals to me. Beautifully done.
Well it may not be what you envisaged Sue but I just LOVE it - gorgeous design, beautiful colours. Great job well done.
