Kristi had 3 different sets of her polymer clay beads for us to purchase. I forgot to take a picture of mine before I started making them. See them at Kristi's blog: http://dreamsomedesigns.blogspot.com/2013/09/wonky-bead-blog-hop-reveal.html
I new when I got the beads I wanted to do something outside my comfort zone. I have been wanting to try and make a knotted necklace for quite some time so I decided that is what I would do with my beads. I added some turquoise nuggets and carved coral flowers to Kristi's beads to make my necklace. I also found in my stash of beads this red carved cinnabar pendant that went perfectly with the beads Kristi made.
I also made a pair of earrings with the disc beads I purchased from Kristi and added some black glass beads and red coral beads.
Hope you enjoyed my creations.

Wow Laurie!!! Love love love!! The necklace is fabulous and the earrings as well. Thanks so much for joining in, you make my Wonky beads look so good!
The knotting is awesome. I love how you moved out of your comfort zone and created something so beautiful. The earrings are fabulous.
Thanks for the great comments! I really liked making this necklace and earrings.
Beautiful pieces! The beads you added to the necklace really make everything come together nicely. And I absolutely love those earrings!!!
Great job, Laurie! Perfect colors for the beads! Great knotting!
Your necklace is so fun. I love the cinnabar piece you used as a focal. And your earrings are too cute, with the cording and the beads dangling down. Great job.
The earrings are so striking, with the black and red! And the necklace is gorgeous!
Red is one of my favorite colors to wear, and I would wear your beautiful pieces with pride! The knotting is very well done.
Beautiful necklace, love the addition of the turquoise and cinnabar. It's a real "look at me" piece, great work!
