Pretty in Pink

Inspiration can come from anywhere. Sometimes I see a bead or beads and instantly know I have to have it/them and what I'm going to do with it/them. Other times, I decide that I have to have it/them but I'm not sure what to use it for, so it or they wait until I get an idea.

In this case, I purchased a mixed bag of pink beads at a TBS meeting a few months ago for the whopping investment of $3 for the whole bag. This past weekend, I finally got around to opening the beads and checking out the beads, then putting some of the beads together.

Here's what came about: a necklace of random beads, linked together with 9 mm jump rings,

a matching bracelet,

and a funky pair of earrings.
