Christmas is coming soon!

The day after Thanksgiving I just couldn't resist putting up a few decorations around the house! In honor of Christmas time I'll post these Christmasy earrings.

New from my imagination!

OH... I haven't made it yet. I've made parts of it with copper wire and dragonscale beads and turqouise. Copper is my new eye candy. Love it!  Plus if you get low on cash and all you have is your copper jewelry, you can go and sell it for it's worth in weight.  After you take the beads off that is. Just love the way it sets off certain colors it's next to. And...if you like the smell of pennies, then you'll just love copper!  But first I need to sell something on Etsy before I can buy some pure copper chain and more wire. I must watch the budget!
So instead of my creation in the making, I'll put up this picture...

I think I'll name it Christina!

Tinker Bell Crystal Necklace

I don't know why I thought of Tinkerbell when I made this.  Maybe because it's all sparkly and magical looking!

Strut your Stuff with my Peacock Bracelet

Iris blue and green Czech glass firepolished 6mm beads wrapped onto silver plated jump rings that are attached to Sterling Silver Rolo chain that is 8 inches in length and closes with a Sterling Silver twisted toggle clasp....(breathe)

Inspired!

I have been inspired to clean up my work area by my bestest buddy!  Sooo after cleaning up my table, and organizing the errant beads, findings, bent pieces of metal I was further inspired to list a pair of earrings I kind of wanted to keep for myself but felt I should share.

New bracelet in the making!

I'm in the process of making a new bracelet.  This time out of Sterling Silver and a toggle clasp. Peacock colors are the theme this time.  I need to buy more beads to "fill it out" so to speak. I'm almost finished but it looks a bit thin for my taste.  I like to make my jewelry to my taste, because based on my selling experience I will be the one wearing it most likely! Sad but true, what can I say.  I'll put it out there, but I won't be heartbroken if it doesn't sell. :) Great positive thinking hunh??

Exotic Brass African Trade Ring Necklace

One of my new favorite pieces of jewelry.  I'm wearing a version of this now and plan to make different things with these rings.  They are awesome if you like these kinds of things with age and history.  I love wearing something that has come from the other side of the world, by people I don't know, I feel connected to in an ancestoral(is that a word?) kinda way.
