Resin Bauble Slider Challenge

This is indeed a challenge.  Definitely out of my comfort zone.  My first instinct was to just put elastic through a whole bunch of them and make a cool flashy bracelet.  But that's not very inventive, so I went back to the drawing board and here's what I came up with...

A little simple, but that's the way I like it.  A bib necklace of resin beads with some rhinestone accents.  It really looks beautiful in person, but, man oh man, it seemed pretty hard to photograph unless I had the exact right angle or else the beads look clear. 
Thank you Lorelei for organizing and stretching my imagination with beading.

  6. You and I had the same instinctive idea for a flashy, stretch bracelet! Great minds, right?!?! =) I love the way your bib necklace turned out -- it looks fantastic with a crisp white shirt!
