Incase you are wondering about the heart in the pancake...my sister in law was making pancakes one morning and I snapped this pic. The pancake happened to have a perfect heart shape...I believe someone special was looking over us that morning and wanted to send her love!

Perfect for the 4th of July {earrings}

I created these earrings a while back. And have been waiting till it got closer to July to post about them. As usual, things got busy and I almost forgot about these cuties.

UPDATE: Sold! 
Re-posting for 4th of July earring inspiration!

"Freedom"
...featuring Vintaj (brand) birds & vintage red/white/blue beads

"Freedom" earrings

These earrings where challenging to make! I almost gave up several times but they ended up just like I envisioned them. I haven't decided if I will make another pair to keep...I do have enough to make one more pair, so we will see!

Published designs in Stringing {Summer}

Have you seen the Summer edition of Jewelry Stringing? It is jam packed with lots of inspiration to carry you through the summer months happily creating your own jewelry. I am honored to have 2 earring designs in this issue!



#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!




#2...As shown on page 58.

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.

Heart of Gold

{heart of gold earrings}

By now, you must know how much I love discovering vintage uncirculated beads! These hearts are vintage lucite heart etched beads.

{sold}

I paired the vintage beads with a topaz color swarovski crystal. This pair is sold but I do have a limited amount available for purchase. Leave me a comment here if interested. This will probably be the last of the 'heart' themed earrings I will blog about before Valentine's day.

ps...aren't these the cutest cupcakes!

Photos and beads

{'Paint the Town Red' earrings}

Recently, I was playing around with my photo {above} of my 'paint the town red' earrings. I really like the way the pic turned out. If you are a reader of my blog you will recognize that these earrings were recently published in the Jan. '12 issue of Bead Trends magazine.

These earrings are so easy to make! Just pick up the issue of Bead Trends for step by step instructions. If you have any questions or need any beading help just let me know. :)

Rose bead resource:

{vintage brass rose beads}

found at: Vintage Baubles

You can add a small 4mm Swarovski crystal bead in the center of these beads like I did! Then a pretty teardrop bead of your choice will finish off this look.

Sweet hearts

{vintage little hearts}

Coral colors always make me happy. :) I just love these vintage little heart beads! They are petite and not overwhelming to wear. I have these available for orders but they are not on my site(s) so contact me if interested in a pair. {Limited quantities!}

I saw this clutch on pinterest and thought it would go perfectly with the earrings...{wink}...
