Summer Surprise Blog Hop hosted by Pine Ridge Treasures!

Here's a link to Lisa's blog entry & participant list: http://gratefulartist.blogspot.com/2013/08/summer-color-surprise-blog-hop-reveal.html

Remember that beautiful jewelry set I teased you about right here? Here's the final product! It's a Waterfall necklace and earring set. :)

Sorry about the (slightly) dark photos... I used an LED light to light the set up as it's (VERY!) dark here right now. LOL. I'll endeavor to get better pictures on Sunday in NATURAL light. :)

I used a little bit of everything, except for the Carnelian that was sent. I was planning on making something else, but plumb ran out of time... I'm SO happy I made this set right away! Yes, it's another Waterfall necklace.... can you tell I'm obsessed with them? They are just so pretty, and you can use so many different materials for them!

Here's another waterfall necklace I made recently to show you how similar, but DIFFERENT, they are:

This one has rose quartz, lampwork, labradorite, freshwater pearls and crystal in it. :) Very pretty! I donated it to BeadSwap-USA. (Another group I've been meaning to tell ya'll about!).

Anywho, I really hope you like the orange Waterfall necklace & earring set I made. In case I didn't mention, I got the orange packet of beads for this challenge! :)

I love summer for the green and the flowers!

Here's a flower to brighten your day- I took this picture on one of my walks through town:
