Green Rosette Earrings






A couple pics of my Green Rosette Earrings. So fun to make!
The 'flower' part of these earrings is really a bead cap! Super
light weight on the ears. These may be my go-to stocking
stuffer for family & friends this Christmas.


I'm still taking orders for these throughout the weekend
until 12-15-14 (for those orders needing to be mailed out).
Contact me if you want to order a pair.
They are $20. a pair///free gift box with tag///& free shipping!
I can customize with different color beads!
(The contact link is at the top of this blog.)

Bead Hoarders Blog Hop {2nd Annual}

http://www.prettythingsblog.com/2014/11/welcome-to-2nd-annual-bead-hoarders.html
It's reveal time!








This is a portion of the hoard (above). I purchased a graduated set of Dalmatian Jasper beads when I first started making jewelry. I remember getting these on eBay about 7 or 8 years ago!





I never used them because I didn't know how to showcase them properly. But, knew they were meant to be in a necklace. When I first started out making jewelry I was only creating bracelets. So, the Dalmatian Jasper sat and sat.





I don't know if I hoarded the Dalmatian Jasper because I liked them so much or because they were expensive or because I simply didn't have a design in mind. Then one day I knew it was time for them to see the light of day...





"Stonehenge"

I created "Stonehenge" using the hoard! I always like to incorporate vintage beads (the black bead link chain) into my designs. There's a lot of stringing involved in this piece (at least for me). I've been working hard since last year on my necklace designs since necklaces have always intimidated me. I hope you enjoy what I created. :)





PS...if you get a chance to do a web search on Dalmatian Jasper you will see the healing properties associated with the stone. It's very interesting!

Halloween Design Inspiration {Jewelry - Part 2}

 

Skulls & Chains
 This is the necklace I created using the skulls from my previous post.
I had submitted this to a mag but it didn't get picked up. That's ok,
because now I can wear it on Halloween. I'm liking the glam goth/
glam rock look!





Skulls & Chains
Close up view of the little skull. (left) 
I wrapped each skull head with
some wire and attached them to the necklace.


I wanted to make matching wrapped skull head earrings
but haven't got around to that yet. ;)



But this coral pair was created yesterday...
(below)





Mr. & Mrs. ---SOLD!---



I haven't decided if they are going to be earrings or not.
I had the little black ribbon flower and it looked like a hat
so one of the skulls got the hat. Then I thought they looked like
a cute pair. So I named them Mr. & Mrs.!



They are ready to become earrings (just need to add the ear hooks).
Or, they can be a focal on a necklace or bracelet. They are
on the bigger side. (see the previous post link to visit the etsy
shop where I purchased them).




Hope you enjoyed this Halloween themed post!

Halloween Design Inspiration {Supplies - Part 1}

I purchased these cute skull beads a while back when designing for a particular theme. Since my design didn't end up getting published I will share it here. Plus I want to wear it for Halloween. :)


I Only Have Eyes For You Dear Peachy Orange Skull Beads with Golden Yellow Flowers

Aren't these the cutest peach skulls with gold flowers for eyes?!!
I pictured these as earrings so we will see how they turn out.
(Return back tomorrow to see what I created!)

These little guys ended up in a necklace.
I really like how the necklace turned out...
a mix of goth glam/ goth rock edge (in my opinion lol).
