Toltec Jewels is hosting a blog hop today, featuring Chicklet Beads from Susan Kennedy of SueBeads. I have designed with Sue’s Chicklet beads before and I really love them, so I was excited to have the opportunity to use these beads again.
Here’s a bracelet I designed with Sue’s Chicklet beads, in May 2014.
Cornflower Bracelet
For today’s blog hop, I received a plum purple colored Chicklet bead. I like the way these tab beads lay flat in a bracelet design, so I combined my Chicklet bead with other artisan beads and came up with this “Plum Delight” bracelet.
Plum Delight Bracelet
I combined Sue’s Chicklet bead, with a lentil shaped bead from Beads & Botanicals and a ceramic bead from White Clover Kiln.

Additional accents include tip-drilled pearls, purple Czech glass bird beads, fire polish beads and ovals of Chinese Charoite.

Again, I am overwhelmed by how well Sue Kennedy’s beads go both with and in contrast to other colors. Each color chicklet made an outstanding bracelet
Beautiful! I just love the way the glass goes with all the other pearls and ceramic beads.
Both bracelets are stunning. I love the diversity of beads you chose for your plum chicklet in this challenge. It’s fabulous.
I like them both. I am partial to purple so the plum bracelet is really appealing and has a nice balance of interesting beads.
What a great bracelet! I bet that it is really comfortable to wear also with all the flat beads.
Beautifully designed bracelets! Love both color ways:)
Both are the lovely. The plum is perfect.
