New Year 2021... Here it is March (WHAT?) and I haven't posted in soooo long. Time to get back to it. I have made some shareworthy pieces since my last post, but the year of covid-19 -- to the present -- has been such a struggle for a lot of us. It's been hard to get my creative cap on, but when I have, it has provided me absolute joy! I thank all these magical beads for so much happiness... plus the thoughts of all the people I love drive me onward to provide special gifts and creations. Here we go... back to the fall of 2020 and then forward to March 2021...
The pendant below started with a metal connector of 16 copper gauge wire, hammered and colored a bit with some Vintaj paints. I have made several different types of connectors, but Heather @ Humblebeads inspired me on this one. The beautiful leaf pendant is made by Ashley at Summerwind Art.
My JDreams design of some fun fall leaves and dragonflies for the ears. The lucite leaves added to the czech glass help to keep these remarkably light.
This next set started with the Grubbi Ceramics pendant. I found Grubbi on etsy and fell in love with this mountain flower scene. Perfect for my MT daughter in law! I stitched a herringbone connector for the necklace, added in some peanut beads for added sparkle, a small czech flower and some bell flower beads for movement. 
Beautiful earrings to match in multiple blue tones - the czech glass flowers have been in my stash forever. I only had two, so they were perfect for this project. Lucite beads above the czech flowers and sparkly glass prisms on the bottom.
Last for this post, a winter set using a Heather (Humblebeads) snowflake bead and a pre-cut wood piece, painted and grooved for some design. These are so great, Heather! I also wire wrapped some rounds and added Heather's metal dangle gloves. So adorbs together! Love the cool colors of this set. Not my normal, as I tend more to the warm, but absolutely love this ensemble. Something about the snow and winter made these beads pop out of my stash and come together.
