Circles of Earth

My friend wore this to work the other day and I loved it.  She warned me  it was difficult to make, which was true, but it was worth the work.  Made entirely of seed beads in white, pink, blue, green, and brown, it can be worn with many things. 

Heart's Desire

I copied the idea of this necklace from Stringing magazine Fall 2010.  It's my new favorite piece.  Finished length is 17 1/2" using red stones, silver spacers, and red glass rodelles. 

For years I have used Avon products. I love it.  I also love what the company does for cancer research and for the awareness of domestic violence.  So a few weeks ago as I was preparing my next order to give to my Avon lady, I thought "I wonder what I would have to do to become a rep?"  My orders alone would justify me becoming a rep (I really do buy a lot), so I set up a meeting with my Avon lady and now I am a rep!  I'm so excited about this opportunity.

Some of the wonderful products they offer are amazing anti-aging products and fabulous makeup.

Avon also does some tremendous work with charities, such as cancer research and awareness of domestic violence!

Friday Night Fun

When I'm home and get a moment of inspiration, I usually pick up my beading supplies.  Yesterday I did just that and had a great time making some new things.  I really like the copper and green.  I LOVE copper.  I think I like it more than silver...



And of course a bracelet to match is always a good idea.  :)

I also made a great black piece. 



Mom's New Necklace

My dear friend Judy has given me many jewelry restoration products over the last few months.  Her Mother was a big jewelry collector and has some beautiful pieces...which were broke or needed to be updated to something that was a little more modern.  This particular piece was coral that her mother had aquired many, many years ago in Hawaii.

Silver always helps bring something to a more modern state.  The end result was a beautiful piece that my friend can wear for many years to come.



Pearl Necklace

My friend Coxy had a long pearl necklace that belonged to her Grandma, which broke, so she brought it to me to fix and ask that I give it a new modern spin.  This is what I came up with. . .

I used the pearls from her necklace, which were originally strung on a very elborate silver string.  I then incorporated sterling silver chain and other findings, such as silver spacer beads...

This necklacee measures over 72" long and can be worn in many, many different ways. 

I hope she loves it.
