Choosy Chicks Choose Chicklets Design Challenge!


 Another great blog hop hosted by our sweet hostess Rita – Toltec Jewels. She
always surprises us with what she’s  coming up with… 
This time she sends us, as a gift, a tiny little bead, made by Sue Beads.
A chicklet. That’s what we are going to create with J

 When I read the title of the hop, I have no clue what a chicklet exactly is…
I remember some  kind of chewing gum when I was a child, and that's it.
 My dictionary
says:  
 
?????
 
 
 Yess, that helps a bit! At least nr. 1.

‘We’ are free to buy some additional chicklet beads, and that’s what I did!
They are so sweet!  I did that before seeing ‘my’ chicklet.
When it arrived I found  a chocolate brown beauty.  
 
Luckily I choose light blue, banana and a gun metal coloured beady… 
That made it easy for me, brown and blue, a classy combination. I love that.
Fond of making bracelets as I am, yes... that’s what I designed.
 
I added some agate beads, montana rock crystal, some pewter rings and
aquamarine facetted beads.  And… I made 2 glass beads, the roses.
With the same glass as the 1 black /greyish bead I bought.
Some jasper butterflies are added because it’s...
Summertime!
 
 

There were 2 chicklets left, the banana coloured sweeties.
A nice colour for some earrings. There’s a touch of grey  in them.
So I added some hematite cubes and jet black crystal beads and gilded bead
caps for the sparkly part. The earrings are made of sterling silver.
 
 
 
Rita, I hope I did give your chicklet a good home!
It has found some chicklet brothers and sisters in that far away new adopted country!
Thank you so much for organizing the hop.

  4. Both pieces are lovely as always. But the earrings are my fav. I am just feeling partial to yellow this summer. Earrings are bright remind me of summer flowers.

  5. Both the necklace and earrings are lovely. I really like the use of the chicklets in the bracelet as one is a charm and the rest aren't. Fun! I also had to laugh at the definition of chicklet. I had never read that about a young girl before. :-)

  15. Blue, grey and chocolate look so good in the bracelet! The chicklet you received both stands out and looks comfortable with the other colors and shapes. I like how you accommodated so many different beads in this bracelet! I like the earrings, too - three different shapes in harmony!
