Designs I Love

I sold a necklace, bracelet and earrings last month in Turquoise, Coral and Wood, then needed to make a new pendant for the necklace.

While I had the beads out, I made another necklace with wire links and chain.  I love this combination.

There are some combinations of beads that I love so much I'll go back and make something else with them.  Here's a couple of other necklaces where I want to do something new based on the colors and design.

Rhodonite rounds, blue flat round ceramic from Michael's, and the blue pendant from ktotten and the ceramic gears from Captured Moments both on Etsy

Love the matte black Onyx nuggets. The red ceramic came from a local bead store that went out of business a couple of years ago.

Apatite nuggets, rhodonite rondels and yellow jasper drums.  I love the chain that I made for it. Its a little tedious to make, but looks and feels really great.

Southtown Arts and Crafts Show

This is the week that I usually spend getting ready for my first craft show of the year.  I've been doing this particular show for at least 10 years, and probably a lot longer than that.  It's always been a good show for me, and I love love LOVE my regular customers who stop in to see me.  

I'm sorry to say I won't be able to do the show this coming weekend (March 22, 23 and 24).  

This makes me sad because I've made a TON of new jewelry, and I love sharing it with you, my faithful customers.  A few of my new pieces are in my Etsy store, so stop on over there as soon as you can while the selection is at a premium.  Use coupon code 20PERCENT for 20% off your entire purchase.  Click on this link:  Etsy store

New Jewelry

Time for pictures of new jewelry I've created in the past few weeks.  I'll be adding them to my Etsy store, too, so if you see something you like, just let me know and I'll try to get it there sooner.

My Jewelry Workspace

So I have a great craft room, right? 

Here's my craft room

But where do I make most of my jewelry?

In the family room on the love seat in front of the tv.

This is what my table looks like today.  Full of some of the beads I used in a piece I made last night.  The inspiration for the colors came from the C-Coop Enamel pendant.

Here's the necklace I just made.  I haven't decided if the chain strand will be a separate strand or will be connected to the bead strung strand.  The gold beads in the strung strand are amber, the rest are either glass or freshwater pearls.  The darker beads are glass pearls. 

Tonight's agenda is making matching earrings and a bracelet.

What do you think?
