Day. I hope your Valentine's included hearts of some kind! I'll start with the adorbs heart set... wood burned tear drop with heart made by Ashley Bonney of Summer Wind Art. The wood pendants are so light, there's lots of option to add on without too much weight. I decided to cut out some really fun red/black embossed leopard leather to give it some added size and interest. I also added some dangles at the bottom for movement - a copper heart, and five red 1-hole lentils. I free form wire wrapped the pendant to a necklace of glass and fire polish. The earrings are also leather cut outs with copper hearts and copper filigree bead caps, 8mm glass rounds, 6mm and 3mm black fire polish. So light and just plain fun. My cutting is all hand done, so it's not perfectly straight, but that gives it a "real" feel of creation.
Now for a couple free-form wrapped heart earring sets. The first pair I made the wire heart form in 18 gauge, and then used 24 gauge wire to wrap these beautiful pink shimmery 8 sb around the form. I added a crystal pave round bead and shimmery pink glass round for the top.
The next pair I strung the 8 sb right on the wire as I was forming the heart, still using these gorgeous pink beads. On this pair I added a 4mm bicone on the top near the ear wire and a Czech glass bicone and Czech crystal heart for the dangle.
Next, a couple of my latest macrame bracelets. These are happy and colorful and the messages something we can all relate to and enjoy wearing. I never tire of making these.
I added some Vintaj paint to the leather on the next one. I love how it turned out. Majestic mountains and all that!
And, below, some absolutely yummy earrings, gearing more towards spring colors... These are a recent Fusion Beads inspiration project, with a little JDreams added in. The outer ring is the pattern, but it needed more so I added in the chain and the Czech glass / swarovski crystal dangles, along with the glass rounds and copper bead caps on top. The colors truly are just so yummy, and the mix of the crystals with the pearls! Ah... love these.
