We have a great Facebook page with lots of amazing talented Artists. This is the first time I was well enought to enter the challenge. I made one piece and love it but didnt like the way it photographed a flower that looked like a fish. UM NO. So I started over and really like my Bracelet. Being Disabled myself makes me really enjoy creating for a charity for a disabled person or charity.

My July PCAGOE Charity Challenge Piece
I called it " Cha Cha for Hope"
I love Cha Cha bracelets. So I thought I would create one for this event. There are over 70 beads on my bracelet, Most made with Polymer clay, Some Swarovski Pearls. Description : very full bracelet with lots of dangles of delightful beads and colorful charms.
Close up of my beads. I made the round beads with a skinner blend of blues from darks to lights of premo blue clays. Then made a ghose cane of white glitter and transparent premo clay and added a layer over the blues and swirled it. Once baked they look really cool. One of a kind beads. I added a white pearl to the top & bottom and added them to the bracelet. I wanted it full. I always thing of flowers when I think of happy things, flowers mean new life and new beginnings to me. So I created Polymer clay flowers: I made little flower beads in a blue mix of glitter and pearlized premo clay and added light blue accents to he centers of the flowers. Baked then put a swarovski pearl in the center and on the back and added them to the silver bracelet. I wanted more blue to fill in. Since the bracelets that they wear for this charity are blue. So I made some light pearlized blue pearls and darker blue clay pearls. I mixed them together with white and a dark and light blue swarovski crystal Pearls. I made a group of 6 pearls some clay some swarovski to go inbetween each clay flower and larger clay bead. So its a full Cha Cha Bracelet. I love it.
Lots of dangles for Hope

Cha Cha for Hope
I added a pretty silver flower lobster clasp, a charm that says Hope & a Made with love charm to the end. This piece was made with lots of love and hope for finding a cure for this cause.
Bracelet open It extends to a size 8 wrist. But you can clasp it anywhere on the bracelet on any open link. There are not alot of open links since I had fun making it a full authentic Cha Cha Bracelet. But it can be worn from a size 5 up to an 8 comfortable. As long as you love dangles and it is actually very light. (my secret, inside all my beads I use the white Sculpey light- the beads actually float they are so light- works great for a project your going to add alot too- almost weightless).
Thanks for stopping by and to find out more about this Charity stop by their page. It has so much wonderful informaiton and photos. It is a great cause and there are so many that suffer. It only takes a little to help alot. Or donate a blue bracelet. Im donating three.
Ugh I cant believe Im even sharing photos of my first attempt. Its gorgeous in person it really is. The details look real. But it photographed and looks like a fish with way to many fins. LOL
My Blue with purple accent Iris Bracelet. I have not decided if Im donating it or not. It does not really fit the mold for what they usually have. I did not know all the rules and or all about the cause while I was making it. I just heard blue and I love flowers so I went to work. :) So If I do send it Ill be sending 4 bracelets. Not sure. I have to submit photos for their approval. So we will see. You can laugh I did. Laughing at yourself is healthy. LOL. I do alot of airhead things, So I laugh alot.

Fishy swiming up stream
Fish turning to come towards you
Fishy got turned around and is confused and giving you the confused 4 eyed look.
Oh no fishy is going away. Bye Bye fishy
That was fun and it truly is lovely all kidding aside. I would wear it with anything blue. But for some reason my camera and it did not like each other. Until next time......
