15th Anniversary Celebration - Day 3

It's Day 3 of my 15 Days of Content! Going strong!

For those just tuning in, this is just my little way of celebrating the fact that this blog has been around for 15 years. Starting on July 20, I'm posting something here once a day for 15 days.

For today's entry, I wanted to do something that has become a bit of a staple on this blog. I'm sure it will be no surprise, then, when I say that today’s entry is... a challenge reveal!

Some background: even though I haven’t been documenting them on social media, I have been continuing to do challenges for myself. I love pushing myself as a jewelry making, and tackling things that require a bit more deliberate designing.

The challenge?

I have several boxes full of bead mixes. Some of these mixes have a theme, some of them are simply one or two leftover beads from projects. The particular mix that I tackled for this challenge is all beautiful, colorful glass.

Specifically, I wanted to see how many asymmetrical pairs of earrings I could make from this mix in an afternoon. After all, asymmetry is not my strong point—and there are too few bead twins in this box to really make matching pairs.

So, I blocked off some time, sat down at my bead table... And here’s what I came up with!

All told, I was able to make 8 pairs. Not bad for someone who doesn't usually do asymmetry!

Here they are together:

Thanks so much for stopping by today for Day 3 of my celebration! 

Oh, and here's a little teaser: I also made something else with this particular bead mix. Come back tomorrow on Day 4 to see what it is!
