More Sky Jewels

Hello,
     I just finished shopping for my family who live far away!  Yay!  I shopped mostly on etsy and had the presents shipped dirrectly to my family.  This is the first time I have done this and it is the bomb!
    
     I just finished this necklace.  I fell in love with the pendant from Moreskyjewels and it sold before I could purchase it.  I convoed Marie-Noel and she was kind enough to make me another one.  She is awesome.  Let me know what you think of him. :)

     I am having a great weekend!  Check out my latest creations and let me know what you think. :)

Balance

Hello,
    I've been really productive lately getting ready for my first jewelry party.  I am excited and anxious.  I've been trying to keep a balance between making the funky jewelry I love and some more conservative jewelry with neutral tones and simple design.  I realize that not everyone wants to wear more daring designs. 
     I tend to feel vulnerable when putting my jewelry out for view.  But my confidence is growing and what's important is enjoying the process right.
     November 12th is the big day.  I will be sure to share how it went.  In the meantime here is more of my work for the party.

I am in the groove.

I've been really busy getting ready for my first jewelry party.  I am soooo excited.  Here is a preview of some of the things I have made.  Let me know what you think.

 This blue pendant is from summer studios.  I might have a hard time parting with this necklace.

Pendant by Starry road studio.

I purchased the most beautiful pendants from Starry road studio on etsy.  She is so talented.

 

I love comments!  Have a great day.

Fun with friends!

   Last weekend I went away to Cape Cod Massachusetts with some of my friends.  We had a wonderful time together.  It was so nice spending time with them.  I feel lucky!  Here are some pictures of our trip.

Bead Table Wednesday

     I have been making more goodies for my jewelry party.  There is nothing like a set date and RSVP's to get your creativity going. 
     My 10 year old daughter tried out for her school play today.  I am so proud of her.  she has a beautiful voice and a spunky personality.  I told her even if she doesn't get a part she is already a winner because she faced her fears and tried out.  Fingers are crossed for her. 

     Here is a picture of my bead table.  What a mess!!!! That just means I'm having fun.

Bead fever!

I woke up this morning, sent my kids off to school, and stepped into my studio.  I put on pandora radio on the Adele station and got to work.  I was in the groove.  I had a productive day. 

Here is some of what I made.   This first necklace you can wear short or long.  I put a lobster claw on one end and fashioned a hook clasp on the other side.

  This necklace is perfect for fall.

 This final one is made of ceramic rings.  I love the colors on the rings.

Please leave a comment and let me know what you think.  Have a great day!

Jewelry Party

     I am so excited!  I am having my first jewelry party in November.  My friends have all been so supportive of me.  
     Here is some new jewelry that will be at the party.

Studio setup

I set up an area in my studio where my friends and neighbors can shop.  I bought the printer box at the Brimfield fair.  It already had the hanger on the back.  The old iron racks I got from a junk shop in Maine a couple of years ago.  I am happy with how it turned out.

 I also made a couple new bracelets.

Have a wonderful day.

It's a wrap

I was inspired by Lorelei to try a wrapped bracelet.  She was kind enough to share a link on how to make one of these beauties.  I think they turned out well. 

 I found these beautiful shell beads in of all places Joanne's fabrics.  I love the earthy colors. 

Here's a new necklace.

 Here are some new earings.

Let me know what you think. 

I am participating in the lima bead challenge.  I can't wait to receive my package of beads.  Hope you are having a wonderful day.

Brimfield Fair

My friend Stephanie and I went to the Brimfield Fair today.  We took our kids and they were troopers.  It was extremely hot and humid.  As always Brimfield was a feast for the eyes.  I absolutely love it. 

 These ceramic hands were cool looking.  O.K. maybe a little creepy too.

I love how this vendor displayed his treasures.

 I purchased some beautiful pewter beads.

And a printer drawer to store some of my beads in.

When I got home I couldn't wait to make something with my new beads.  I think this bracelet turned out pretty well.  Let me know what you think.
