Today is the reveal date for Lorelei's current Michael's Reader Challenge! The challenge was to buy the beads pictured in her post at Michaels and create a necklace, using your own stash to supplement two extra types of beads, a clasp and a focal.
I wasn't able to find the mother of pearl faceted beads and substituted a white nebula. The focal is a skeleton key I found packaged as "Santa's Key" at a craft show. The clasp is a toggle with a dangling sparkly heart. Check out the other participants:

This is a treasure. Wonderful. You pulled the elements together really nicely.

Sorry to hear you couldn't find all the beads. I hope that I combat that challenge for the next one!
I really love the key focal on your necklace. It all works so well together, thanks for participating!
It looks great - love the key
Love that key and it gave me idea for a huge stack of keys I have lying around from a craft store. I love the clasp and have used that one myself a few times.
Great job of improvising!

I like the antique feel to your necklace. Lovely.
That necklace has such a nostalgic beauty to it. Nice work!!
You did so very well! I love your necklace!!
Oh! That key works so perfectly in with the beads. I just acquired myself a stash of keys and didn't even think to use them in the design for this challenge (partly because I was DONE with the necklace for this challenge.)
You've made a beautiful piece that I know I would readily wear!! Just beautiful!
That key is stunning! What a great necklace, and you compensated so nicely for not being able to get all of the beads :)
So pretty! I am a sucker for anything with a skeleton key. This is so classic and elegant with a touch of vintage. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy the day!

Pretty piece! Love the Key! Works perfect with the beads and the theme.
Love the key - I used a small one as well - beautiful job!
Gorgeous! I love the key!
Your necklace turned out great, and I think the key is a very cool focal!
I don't have time to check out the others but yours turned out great. It's an art to be able to assemble beads in the manner in which you have done. The key and light beads are beautiful togeher.
It's adorable, so dainty!
Wow! I love what you did with this! Your piece is beautiful in its simplicity! Nice job!
I love your design! Great Work
