Back in the spring I signed up for another of Lisa Lodge's challenging blog hops. This one combined gemstone and metal beads. I got a kit that include jasper beads, in various sizes and shapes, and silver tone beads and findings.

| Everything in the kit |
 |
| Silver-tone beads and findings |
 |
| Jasper beads |
 |
| Netted Jasper Collar |
I used some beautiful green seed beads that worked with the green in the jasper. I also used some silver seed beads for mesh point (they don't show in the photo). The basic technique for this netted collar are from Maria Rypan's Netting Primer.

Later in June I posted about another technique I was trying for this challenge. Here is the completed bracelet.
 |
| Floral Jasper Charm Bracelet |
Continuing with my One-Step Looper I created some more dangles to hang on the chandelier earring findings. I have made them into pendants by attaching them to the bails.
 |
| Floral Jasper Pendants |
Of course I also made a simple bracelet by stringing an assortment of the beads on beading wire and using the pretty floral toggle.

Once again I loved doing this challenge that Lisa created for us.
Take some time to check out the other work by my fellow beaders.
