Charm of the Week: Cream and Amber Chunky Necklace with Pendant and Earrings

This is a fun necklace and earring set. As most people know, everything is bigger in Texas. I found these creamy and amber colored beads and repurposed them into this set. Wasn't sure what I wanted to do with them, then I stumbled across this pendant.  It's a mix of glass and plastic beads. The pendant is antiqued brass with shiny gold rhinestones. The center is a swirly chocolate brown.  Read more details about this set in my shop!

Fun Red Pyramid Shaped Dangle Earrings

These bright clear, red pyramid shaped acrylic beads dangle 2 1/2 inches off silver plated earrings. The red bead measures 1/2 inch at longest point and 1/2 inch at widest point. These are fun earrings to wear and complete a youthful look.  http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=39968902
These earrings also match the Red Orange Multistand Charm Necklace listed under Necklaces.

Will ship international, please contact me.

A quick turnaround

Last weekend I went to a great bead fair and picked up some lovely things: semi precious beads, some fantastic Sicilian clay beads, which I'm still thinking about what to make with, and some acrylics.

Within the day, I made up the pillar-box red acrylics into a necklace and I listed them a day later on Etsy.

Within 5 minutes I had a message to say they were sold! What a great surprise!

That turnround really took my breath away. Less than 48 hours after buying the beads, the necklace was on its way to California.

I didn't even have time to start thinking about what I would wear it with.



By the way, if anyone knows whether the patterns on these beads mean something, please let me know.

Today's creations


Two major projects on the go for today: Amazonite and baroque pearls strung and knotted on white silk, and a new departure for me, acrylic beads.

I bought into the acrylic craze last weekend at a Bead Fair. They are large and bright white, with pink, green, blue and yellow flowers artfully painted on them - what girly girl could resist those?

Anyway, turns out I have similar sized acrylic faceted smokey brown stones and just as I strung them, they really started to pop!

So I’m off to finish off, and hopefully post photos later.

See y’all!

New Painting



This is a new painting I did for my office. I work at home, so I need to bring in a little more color to my room.
