Particularly Proud Pendant

In filling out an Application to be part of The Best Little Bead Box swap, I needed to include a piece of mine that I was particularly proud of.  Although I've gotten more advanced in my jewelry making/beading skills, I keep coming back to this pendant, made a few years ago, that I gifted to my dear friend, Gina.  My goal now in my jewelry design, is to include some of my own beads or pendants in every thing I make.  I have been a busy bee designing new bead sets and pendants.  Stay tuned for pictures ... weather permitting.  As for this necklace, the coral beads are premo polymer clay finished with acrylic paint, the pendant is polymer embellished with real turquoise.  The necklace is strung with silver spacers from Rings N'Things. 

Rings & Things Blog Partner!!!!!!!!

Rings N' Things has simplified their blog partner program and Dave Robertson's email came today saying that this simplification has made me, yes, you read that right, me a Rings & Things blog partner.  Take a lookie see to the left, right there at my little badge.  I couldn't be more thrilled.  Now, go forth to R&T and buy, buy, buy!

In My Dreams

This morning during those minutes right before the alarm went off, I dreamt that I had made these earrings to go with the outfit that I had planned on wearing this morning.

So, instead of hitting the snooze button, I got up, got ready for work in record time (who needs mascara anyway...) and put these earrings together.

The donuts are Carnelian and I believe from Rings & Things the findings and seeds are brass from my LBS.  Picture from Alyss and her trusty iphone.
