Jewelry Stringing Winter 2014

"Fancy" earrings

These are the earrings shown in the most recent Jewelry Stringing. 

I love how they sparkle and how they look on! Simply Fancy!

The cover is gorgeous. 

I received my copy yesterday but need to sit down with it for awhile. Get inspired this holiday season and dazzle your family & friends with some handmade gifts this year.

PS...I will have a limited amount of these earrings available! The main focal bead is a vintage find. Let me know if Santa needs a little help filling those stockings!

#4...As shown on page 58.

I had the best time creating these {above} earrings! I created my own faux patina on the top rose beads. (You can find these beads at my etsy shop.) Orange and Turquoise is always a pretty summer combination. I can picture these earrings paired with a white sun dress!

The earrings above are called 'Calm Seas.' The were inspired by the beach and the serenity of just being close to nature. I like to use vintage beads in my designs. I typically use uncirculated vintage beads in my designs and love mixing old and new elements together!  To find out which beads are vintage, and not as hard to find as you may think, pick up a copy of the summer issue of Stringing on newstands now.

Playing with photo effects and jewelry

I've been wanting to post all week and show you my earrings that are in the current issue of Stringing Magazine! {shown below}

The earrings are created with raw brass hammered disks, and pretty green picasso czech glass beads. When I created these spring inspired earrings I didn't have a specific design in mind!

I knew I was going to use the brass hammered disks to mimic the sun.

And then, since these earrings are for the spring season, I decided to pair the disks with green beads.

These beads, in different variations of greens and teals, complemented the brass disks perfectly! Then I topped them off with a smaller bronze bead. Sometimes, designs flow easily and come together just the way you had hoped!

ps...Thank you Stringing for showcasing these earrings in your spring issue!
