The theme of this challenge is Pastel Perfection.

Your creation can be in any colours or materials but must be in pastel shades! I know for me this would be a hard challenge as I'm a big fan of zingy bright colours and don't often work with pastel colours, so I really look forward to seeing your creations.

To enter all you need to do is post up a picture of your creation in this thread, and tell us of a little bit about your creation.

You can enter any bead, beaded or jewellery item. Don't forget that also covers/includes wire work, metal work, polymer clay, lampwork, accessories and jewellery etc!

All you need to remember is that you can only enter one piece (or set) per challenge.

The closing date is the last day of March.

Good luck, we look forward to seeing your entries.

Daisy Daisy Daisy

I love working with Pastel colours and I thought this necklace fits the theme.

Lampwork bead is by a wonderful bead artist from South Australia called Terri Kraehe.

I have never posted any of my work here before so here goes. This is a palmstone of Rose Quartz which I drilled with my trusty Dremel, strung on a medley of Freshwater Pearls, Amazonite and more Rose Quartz. The T bar fastener is Sterling Silver
