14k gold fill earwires, sterling silver, brass, rosewood and ocean jasper.

Sterling silver and amethyst.

Here are some earrings that will soon appear in my Etsy shop. I am not very satisfied with the pictures so I might try to take some more before I put them in the shop.
I am loving the earwires which I bought from Rocki's supplies.
She has inspired me to try to make my own. I just find it difficult to get each one the same.
Well, enjoy and check in a day or so for these lovelies to show up in the shop.

Itty Bitty, Teeny, Weeny.


Have you ever strung size 15 seed beads? Oh boy are they ever tiny. That is what I like about them though. Those little specks aren't poppy seeds. I want this bracelet to have about 12 strands but it takes a while to strand all those little things on there. I get the best light at 10 am at my table. I am working on it in the evening but holy eye strain.

A great Trade!

Last week I made my first Etsy sale. Well it was actually a trade and boy was it ever a good one. I received my prize in the mail today. I traded this:



for this:

I am very happy. The bracelet is amazing. Peyote stitch is beautiful. I am more of an instant gratification kind of girl so I don't have the patience to finish any peyote projects so I am very thankful for this little beauty. And the colors. My oh my. Thank you soo much Carol.

Amethyst loves Rubies love Garnet


This necklace was created inadvertently. I was making my mom some earrings for Chrsitmas and this was the first one. When I put the second one next to it I realized that they did not match at all. This one was a bit bigger. Luckily I had another gold circle on hand and was able to make the matching earring. I had been wanting to combine amethyst, ruby and rhodolite garnet for a long time and I thought who better to recieve such a gorgeous combo than the good woman who gave me life? So I was left with this cirle pendant and I had the gold filled wire wrapped rutilated quartz I put them together and voila!! If you really love it check out my etsy shop, it could be yours...
