I was lucky enough to be picked by Jeannie Dukic of Jewelry By Jeannie for her Echo Creative Club Challenge for July! She sent us some gorgeous polymer creations she made, and we were to make something from them! I made three somethings! I was excited about the pieces she sent me because I love the ocean and the beach and all things summer!
I made these earrings with her starfish charms. I made some lampwork beads in an ocean color to go with them, and used bead caps that look like urchins!
The second piece I made was this simple cotton cord bracelet – I used a button that mimics the sand dollar she sent me (below) and used her starfish charm and some other sea creature charms!
Finally, with the sand dollar, I made this necklace! I used the same lampwork beads and urchin bead caps, along with gorgeous czech glass ovals to create this sea-worthy necklace!
I hope you like what I made! You can see everyone else’s creations by visiting their blogs, below! And don’t forget to check out Jeannie’s web site – she has some wonderful polymer creations!

I love the earrings. So pretty! And that necklace is pretty fine too.
Oh Sue these are positively drool worthy. Your beads and my starfish are perfect together and the leather bracelet is smashing. So my style. That necklace IS sea worthy. Perfect beads and color knowing you love the ocean and beach so much. I hope you enjoyed playing along and thank you. It was a pleasure having you join in this month.
P.S. Thank you for posting this so early! xo
Gorgeous! Love your lampwork…and that starfish button is perfect!
Oh Sue! Love ALL of them! Your lampwork beads are always beautiful, and paired with Jeannies, you have some real winners. I think my favorite is the earrings, they are just stunning!
Oh Sue I have to say I am totally jealous! Your creativity with these gorgeous pieces is amazing and I love the ocean theme too!
OOhhh! I love the blue and green tones together! So peaceful. I feel like I am sitting right beside the ocean.
Such a lovely trio of things. A great collection! I can see that someone will love wearing these together as a remembrance of the sea. I think the earrings are my favorite. And to think that you just whipped up some glass to go with it! Woohoo! That is special. Enjoy the day. Erin
Lovely! All these pieces are lovely!!
Love all three pieces! Jeannie does make the best ocean pieces out of polymer! LOVE them!!

Good Job! Very nice pieces, although, the earrings are my favorite. Very summery and beachy.
