Pearls! Pearls!! Pearls!!! Blog Hop

*Sign ups for the blog hop are now closed*


Are you ready to ROCK SOME PEARLS?!
 
 
 
I am! (Always!)
 
So, let's have some fun and do a PEARLS blog hop. 
(Like, y'all didn't know that was coming sooner or later, right?!)
 
www.MiShelDesigns.blogspot.com
 
 
Okay, here's the Scoop:
 
1) Gotta have a Blog to post the reveal on.
 
2) Make something (doesn't have to be jewelry *Gasp!*) with pearls in it. A lot of pearls, a few pearls - your choice. 
 
3) They can be real pearls (freshwater, saltwater, Tahitian, South Sea) or imitation (Swarovski, Czech glass, plastic, shell pearls, etc.)
 
4) What you create can be any style or pay homage to any era/age/region, etc. (i.e. Modern, Ancient, Rustic, Vintage, Boho, Cottage-Chic, Cowgirl, Southwestern, New-England Classic-Stuffy, Trendy, Art-Deco, Tribal, Beachy, Glam, Grunge, Goth, etc.) You name - you can make it!
 
5) Post the reveal of your creation(s) on Sunday, September 15th, 2013 on your blog and come here to see the list of participants and hop around and see what everyone has created. (I'll do the Inlinkz thingy so it's easy for people to link up and hop around, okay?)
 
6) Mention WHERE you got your pearls in your post and why you like to shop there - and provide a link if you have one - so that way, we can all shop for pearls after the hop!
*If you've had your pearls for years and/or can't remember where you scored them, or if they were gifted to you or something like this, that's fine - just mention that in your post.
 
That's it!
 
 
 
Sign up: Now through Sunday, August 25th.
Leave a comment below on this post with your
name, email and blog url and you're in!
*feel free to email me at Shel@asicj.com
w/your email if you don't want anyone to see it.

    Love to join in the fun, Michelle! This hop is so perfect for the Pearl Queen.
    I'm going to try to link your blog button, but sometimes wordpress and blogger just don't want to play nice together.
    And I have to add that this post with your photos is just drop dead gorgeous.

    Oh, I'm so glad you've all joined in the "Pearl Fun". I think it's going to be a great little hop. I mean, what better way to look at "pearl eye candy"? And, to find new places to get more great pearls - yessiree, that's what I'm talking about!! ;-)

    Morning, Shel! I have a couple of questions before starting this challenge...First one is regarding your earrings "Freya". They looked oxidized to me. Did you do this before or after you added the pearls? How do they handle a LOS bath? Second, I notice that you use large hole pearls in you pieces sometimes. Do you purchase these or drill your own? If so, how? I thought the expert of all things pearls would be the right one to ask! Thanks!

    Would love to join. So, I'm notoriously bad when it comes to make deadlines, but, I'm on vacation right now, and will have access to GAZILLIONS OF BEADS on Beaders Best (that's right, not Bead Fest, this is a GERMAN thing) and hopefully some pearls too, plus I loveloveLOVE pearls, so chances are good. I still might drop out on last second's notice, just a heads up. :(
