Creativity Flows Again!

It's been too long since I created anything new. I've finally felt the urge to get creative and came up with this luscious green fringe bracelet entitled Mystic Gables. All wrapped up in gorgeous sterling silver and yummy lampwork beads by glass Artists Dhea & Russ Powers.

Cluster Earrings

Thanks to Jo for her wonderful tutorial on how to make these stunning earrings. Jo is a friend of mine from the wonderful group the BeadHive in which I belong and help moderate. I loved making these earrings so much I couldn't wait to explore other colour combinations. They were designed using clusters of sparkling swarovski crystals and accented with sterling silver Bali beads.

Having some fun with clay!

Here are my very first attempts at hand modeling clay into "food" beads! Some pretty sparkling pink frosted cupcakes with yummy chocolate cake. Some sushi beads complete with rice, salmon and cucumber. Last but not least some green olives complete with some red pimento. These were really fun to make and I can't wait to experiment with more! Hungry Yet? :)

Friday Night Blues

Well it's Friday night. Nothing to do as it is storming heavily outside. One thing comes to mind for a night like this, maybe some bead making! That will help lift my spirits. There's nothing else I'd rather be doing on a night like this :)

Just In Time For Spring

Spring blossoming earrings. So cute and perfect for spring. Hand wire wrapped in sterling silver. Frosted shades of glass floral beads and sparkling Swarovski Crystals. So pretty!

Polymer Clay Decal Beads

These beads were created using tiny nail decals from my favorite department store. They were a lot of fun to make. Can't wait to experiment with more! Claying is so much fun :)

Polymer Clay Glitter Beads

I also decided to give it a go and experiment with sparkles and clay. These turned out so bright and with so much sparkle. Lots of mess but they sure are pretty!
