Suddenly Spring Blog Hop

Suddenly Spring Blog Hop

Michelle Mach challenged us to turn an icy blue winter bracelet into something for spring.  Spring makes me think of flowers and sunlight (well - and rain too).  I created two bracelets with beads from my stash (I can't remember where I got them from) and the blue beads from Michelle's challenge bracelet:

Flowers:

And sunlight:


Thanks Michelle, this was fun!  
I hope you like what I did, please take a look at the other participants:

    Very pretty! I love that you used the flowered beads to add a bit of spring to each of these.

    The pinks and yellows compliment the aquamarine beads. Love the flower beads...very springy.

    What I love about your bracelets is that they are very wearable. Something cute and fun to wear with something dressy or even with jeans and a favorite shirt. Thanks for sharing.

    It's so neat what a difference a change in beads can make. Just a few different colors and POW! It's Spring. Lovely.

    Kim - Both these bracelets made me smile. Love the lampwork beads, esp. the flower ones. I think these would look great with a casual outfit, or for work!

    What a pretty little set of bracelets. It's amazing how the blue beads look different in each one because of the accompanying beads. Beautiful!!

    Lovely bracelets. Particularly like the flower one, the pink flowers give it some "pop".

    I agree - your pair of bracelets are really sweet. And adding the crystal faceted beads with other beads like the ones you used really changes the entire look!

    I am so sorry I missed seeing your bracelets earlier! Where WAS I? I apologize, but I am so glad to see them now, as here in NY they would finally be perfect with the beautiful weather we have been having! They are so lovely and the colors are wonderful!
