Back To Creating

After a few weeks of trying to get back to normality I now have the dining table covered in goodies for creating and a few new creations.

I received some more awesome beads from Auntie Beads and away I went.

My first creation was this gorgeous necklace using foil outline rectangle glass beads, a couple of sterling silver round starburst beads and Swarovski crystals.

Then I got carried away, creating 2 matching bracelets with the additions of sterling silver hollow heart bead, a sterling silver oval message bead and sterling silver round mirror beads.

2 matching pairs of earrings followed. I found the hole in the rectangle glass beads a bit large for my headpins so used some flat bali spacers to help them fit correctly.

Check out Aunties Beads for an awesome array of beading supplies or Beadsme for the finished product.

Got My Craft Bug Back

Or should I say - someone gave me a craft bug and I played with it until it gave me some inspiration.
OK I rummaged through my supplies and it came to me.

I admit myself that these creations are awesome. Very feminine and springy.

The necklace is created with a beautiful Fluorite pendant surrounded by wire wrapped Citrine teardrops.

Earrings are created with wire wrapped Citrine teardrops and Oregon Sunstone.

Doesn't it feel good when your creative bug comes back like a lost puppy.

These gorgeous gems were given to me in one of our secret swaps from Pam at Cooljewelrydesigns and Sharon at Nightskyjewelry.
