Flip Flops

Summer is coming so when I found the flower beads and the flip flop charms I knew exactly what I wanted to make with them.
The little pendant is so cute. The flip flops have flowers, hearts, peace signs and smiley faces.
They even came with matching charms that I used to make earrings. I made this just in time for Charlotte to take with her on her trip to Florida. I hope she had a great time.

Another Version....


Another version of the pearls and crystals. I like the necklace on this set better but the earrings on the other. :-) Maybe they can be mix and match.

Simply Classic



I seem to forget how much I love pearls. It is hard to go wrong when working with them. They can be completely dress up or just a funky dash of elegance when you are going casual. I like this set as a whole, but am especially pleased with how the earrings turned out. I love dangles! :-)

Organics


I love organic beads...especially wooden ones. This is the first time I have paired them with other elements. I used silver chain for the necklace and some frosted glass rounds on the earrings. It must have turned out as well as I hoped as it sold the very next day. Thank you Miss. B, I hope you enjoy wearing it!

Detour into Gold...


I'm a silver kind of girl. I can't seem to help myself. I know when I am making jewelry to sell it isn't about personal preference, but I can't help but see beads paired up with silver. Then I saw these beads. I knew immediately that there was no way that they would work with silver. I paired them with gold and amber to bring out the swirls in the stone. Maybe now when I see beads I can start to see gold too.

Blogger Award


As you can see by my non-posts I have been ridiculously busy. I haven' touched my beads in well over a week. Maybe I'll be able to get back to them soon. In the meantime, with no beads to blog about, I decided to get to work and post the award I have been meaning to for a few weeks now. ShimerMeBlue was kind enough to give me this award. Her blog is a favorite read of mine. Click and go on over to check it out. she is a talented jewelry maker, she does reviews on anything under the sun and she blogs about her fanily. I don't know how she does it all..to add to it she just recently started another blog called Outnumbered 3 to 1.
Ok, the rules are to pass this blog on to ten other bloggers. I am not sure that I know ten, but I will give it my best shot.
