Bead Peeps Blog Hop Reveal
Today is the day! Just a quick recap before we get started. My partner was Shaiha of Shaiha's Ramblings. Check the post before this to see all the lovely things I was sent. This is what I sent her. (I used her picture since mine seem to have disappeared.)ON TO THE JEWELRY!
This necklace used some of the little green flower beads and the purple ribbon to finish off a flower focal I made.
I gave the goddess pendant a watery home with tiny conch shells as well as stick and blister pearls in white and coin pearls in purple. Hopefully this necklace will help me embrace my watery side (my least dominant element of the four.)
With this necklace I used the house focal with the green/blue glass, red rondelles, and the chain given to me by Shaiha. The only bits I added were the hematite beads to cover the crimps and the toggle clasp. This piece will be a gift for my sister on my birthday.
I have a few other piece in the works. I'm making a springy dangle bracelet using the yellow ceramic flowers as well as some more green flowers. I'm thinking of using the blue glass bead caps in a pair of earrings. I have no idea what I'll use the bow ties for, but we shall see.
Anyway, I'm off to class now! I will be commenting on posts later on this evening.
Well I just fell head over heels with your flower focal and its pretty ribbon speckled with tiny green beads! And I love how you've showcased the goddess & house focals. Yummy!
ReplyDeleteSuch interesting color choices, looking forward to seeing the bow ties

ReplyDeleteBeautiful work! I especially LOVE the goddess necklace. I am so very glad I clicked on it because the photo in the blog is small but it enlarged to show the shells which I couldn't see in the smaller photo.
ReplyDeleteYes I agree with Robin. I too love the goddess necklace! All your work was beautiful, but the goddess really spoke to me. Wonder if it is because I am Pisces?

ReplyDeleteI like the colors of the first necklace, but then I like the use of fiber and beads too. But I really love the last necklace with the house focal. But all of the pieces look great.
