Necklaces, Ankle Bracelets and Earrings...:)

I have been making many necklaces, earrings and ankle bracelets.
These were all made with glass beads, gems, shell, pearl, charms, etc...



















I may add some more seed beads at the bottom of the above 2 pairs. :) 
As well as the ankle bracelets... ;)



I've been busy the past couple of days!  :)

Beads and MORE BEADS :)

Hello

 I've been busy

I'm using up my bead collection!

I think I have so many more

before I finish with them all.

I will be busy as a bee

No bees out today

It's pouring rain...


So I thought...

It was an excellent idea

To make some jewelry

I know... I know...

I think I've gone

off the deep end

All these necklaces in 2 days... 

I think I'll watch a movie!!  LOL  :)

Pearls, Glass and Gold... Oh my!

 Today was another day spent working on some jewelry sets.

pearls, mother of pearl beads, glass beads, and 14k gold plated
earring hooks and 14k gold eye pins. The daisy is made of 
mother of pearl, also known as abalone shell. 



The second necklace and earring set is made with freshwater
pearls, mother of pearl beads, glass beads and gold findings. 
The matching earrings are freshwater pearls, glass beads 
(pearlized), gold tone glass beads, with 14k gold plated

Projects of the Day - Earrings and Necklace

I spent yesterday on book revisions, which took me all day.
I finally finished with both at 10 pm last night.  

Today, it's back to jewelry mode, bead mode, mod mode...whatever! lol  
Well, at least I've been getting things accomplished in the craft area... :) 

Today I decided to use up some of the remaining beads from the
necklaces I've made. I've used more abalone shell, glass and gem stones, 
as well as some silver and black... :) 
Have you ever seen the Oakland Raiders? Now THAT is some silver and black!  ;)

The necklace has a dragonfly charm and a few special beads, 
as well as Hematite beads and silver findings. ... I like it! :) 











The earrings are abalone beads, discs and glass beads with some silver findings. 

So... now that my light has burnt out on my magnifying gadget, I'm done for the night!  :) Now for a nice cup of tea... and some relaxation.

Ocean Beauty - Necklace

I just finished this necklace, this one took most of the day
to make. I have used glass bugle and seed beads in this
piece, and some abalone shell beads and pendant. I love
how this one turned out! :) Shells... ocean... beauty... sigh.
