June birthstone

As I was getting ready to take the picture today........well all I am going to say is that it is coming-I promise!

May birthstone-Emerald (part 2)




As I have recently posted I announced that I was going to redo the original May birthstone I did. I think the briolettes (teardrop looking beads) add a whole lot to this piece.

Eye Glass Holders







Eye glass holders are becoming a bit fashionable these days! All of a sudden a lot of people have asked if I made these and I hadn't yet but was planning on making one for my mom for mothers day (which I did). I have created 4 custom made pieces for people and here is an example of one I made for a co-worker of mine.
Allergy note: The eye glass holder ends are made of rubber.

May birthstone

I am redoing the May birthstone.......I didn't really have any inspiration for May so I kindof threw something together......but I was looking through my beadstyle magazine last week and bamm inspiration hit....so I will be working on May and June this month (Emerald and Pearl)

Earrings and Wire

I love earrings-dangly, hoops, studs, etc. Except I am not very good at making them. I am not very good with wire. It probably sounds silly but I can never make a simple loop look right-it is always twisted or crooked....so I am going to practice working with wire a little more, because I know a lot of people would love to have earrings. Necklaces and bracelets too.....loops in between groups of beads (I will find an example to share)...would love to make those but it never looks right. So until I master it...............to be continued!

For Gold Lovers

Hello! I must admit I am partial to making jewelry with silver components, but if you favor gold over silver I will change it up a bit. If you like one of the pieces but prefer it in gold I will switch the components to gold. Or if you want me to custom-make you something and use gold components I will do that too. I am open and laid-back about things like that!
