Changes

The Journey

I have had a little stack of gemstones sitting on my jewelry table for some time now wondering what to do with them. Just like beads I see them as little treasures I've picked up along the way. I took a photo of them and made them my new avatar. Something new for the next step of my journey. When I started this blog I mentioned that I was again following a design path and I was going to see where that journey would go. I've also mentioned that I'd like to start an Etsy store which I have been working on and I am hoping to be opening that in the not to distant future after I get use to where the next part of my journey is going. That next part is...I am going to be traveling! I am very excited about traveling this summer. My husband has driven truck locally for a number of years and recently has gone back over the road and I'm going with him. I can't say exactly where we will be traveling to but I am certain this is going to be the beginning of a new adventure! I will be taking pictures of our journey which I plan to share on my blog and I will be creating jewelry inspired by our adventure. I am looking forward to seeing the sites!

Thank you for visiting...please come back to see where this journey goes!  :)

Organizing

Organizing & Other Things

I was working on doing some organizing today, I came across a necklace and earrings I had made and thought I would post them. I'm trying to get some things together and get an Etsy store started. This necklace is likely one of them I will list when I get that accomplished now that I have more time to focus on my jewelry designing.

Thanks for visiting!  Have a great day! 

Choker style necklace made with Hematite seed beads, 
fresh water pearls and red wooden disks.

BTW

Bead Table Wednesday!

Below are a couple pictures of a necklace I made from what has been on my bead table for the past few weeks. I was going to try not to use seed beads or pearls because I so often use them in my work. As you can see I used both and I learned a few things in the process. I need to brush up on taking photos and maybe it's time to work on a challenge and see if I can get outside my seed bead and pearl comfort zone.

The necklace is a choker style, antique brass chain with a focal made from a piece of Green Calcite that is wrapped in a Vintaj Diamond Swirl.
The choker is made form glass pearl multi color rondelles,
purple seed beads and Lucite beads.

Thanks for stopping in...Have a great day!
