ODE TO FALL...

My newest dangles for the season, which work for one more week, thank you very much!  Thank you to Penny Dixon, Trendsetters designer at Starman, Inc., for this wonderful earring pattern. It's on the COVER of Beadwork's October/November issue.  It's an intricate, beautifully put together design using netting and picot stitching, and as you can see, the color combos are endless.  I wanted to do something for Thanksgiving, and these beads I had in my stash, so kind of jumbled them together.  These brown/translucent pear shaped drops are hard to photo to highlight the beauty of the markings, but you get the idea.  My friends and I think these look a bit like turkeys!  All the better!

SNAKESKIN NECKLACE

Another fun option for the snakeskin pattern -- One row of 2-hole daggers in spring colors makes a lovely necklace.  Even though it's still February... I'm so ready for spring.  These colors take me in that direction.  The ceramic pendant is from Tracee Dock, The Classic Bead. Her clay creation adds just the right amount of pizazz to this piece!
