Lively lampwork from JavaBead. The two lampwork spacer beads are by Sue Kennedy of Sue Beads. I love how they coordinate with the JavaBeads! |
I love both the shape and the color of these lampwork beads by Sue Kennedy- it makes me yearn for a creamscicle (anyone else remember these frozen treats?) |
More lovely lampwork by JavaBead |
Yes - I was on a JavaBead binge! - Beautiful denim-blue. |

Lovely - and I mean lovely - lotus pendant by Barbara Bechtel of Second Surf fame. I flanked the pendant with some ceramics by Natalie McKenna. |
I CANNOT stop making the spiral link chain that I learned in the e-course by Kerry Bogert! |
My new love - Jasper. I am determined to find it in every color, as I believe Mother Nature would want me to! |
My mother fell in love with this necklace the second I pulled it out of the tumbler. |
This focal was handmade by Melissa Meman of Melismatic Art Jewelry (whom I met at artBLISS last year - such a sweet lady)! She posted this focal and others on her blog and said she would "maybe list it on Etsy"...I was so glad she did! I have no idea how she created this masterpiece but I plan on quizzing her at artBLISS this year...I hope she is going! |
I hate to pick a favorite - but this one is truly IT for me! I ordered these beads from Sue Kennedy's direct website (as opposed to her other shop on Etsy). They were so pretty that I wanted to try and make them even more special. So, I bought a Rolled Bead Tutorial EARLY LAST YEAR (ahem) and dug it out. I really love how this necklace turned out!

Of course I made earrings! |
I still have 3 necklaces to finish up before Saturday morning - they have been "made" but I need to antique, buff, and tumble. In the meantime, my little world is expecting its first substantial snowfall tonight/tomorrow in FOREVER! I am so freaking excited! It has been way too long...
Thank you for stopping by! I love to read your comments! :) Enjoy the rest of your week!
