I've been working on some new designs - yeah! Some I can share right now and some I can't, so stay tuned... it's all about the timing don't ya know...and who might be getting what when... ha ha! Mostly, I've been appreciating and enjoying getting back to some regular beading sessions with my friends! We had all taken a break through the Hollydaze, and then bad weather and roads continued to make things difficult. However, of late, we have been getting in a few group bead sessions, and that makes me so happy, and helps my artistic juices flow. It's always fun to see how differently we all see the same pattern, and then the choices of colors, etc. we all make. Thank you to my "bead-line" ("life-line") of friends!! :)
So, back to some of what I've been making -- some darlin' earrings, most of these shown are my JDreams design. The first pair below is my design... I think they're so spring-like! and I was able to get a pic outside while the sun was shining.
The pair below also my JDreams design - for someone very special. Don't they go beautifully with the scarf underneath?
And below a creation for a friend who prefers posts instead of loop earrings, plus anything silver. I try hard to keep posts in stock, so I'm not madly searching at the last minute. I was happy I had these available.
And last, but not least, some fun copper wire wrapped, purple 3-shade dangles - the bead weaving design is from Deb Roberti (color variation from a previous post), and the overall design, with wire wrapping, mine. C U T E and really light!
Stay tuned... more to come...
A dear friend of mine is celebrating her birthday today (Happy Birthday Susan!) and she kept giving me hints that she likes "mismatched" jewelry, which is a difficult thing for a girl like me who likes to "match"! But, alas, I thought, "it's her birthday, so give it a try"! And try I did. I think I can... I think I can... I think I can... I'm very happy with the way this turned out and hope she is too!
The owl and bird are both ceramic, along with a little feather chain and tagua nut rounds in three colors, and two holed lentels with sead beads up the left side and two different chain links on the right side. The owls on the earrings are different as well... It was a fun project!
And, last but never least, two ADORABLE grandsons on a wonderful carousel!
