all wired up and waiting to be chained....

I found some beautiful larger sized Czech glass teardrop beads in gorgeous colors. I am waiting for some lovely brass chain to arrive but I have already wrapped them with brass wire and so now they are waiting to be chained. I will be using these pretties for my Value Line series and here is just a little sneek peak...

pearls pearls pearls

I had so much fun designing the Blushing Berries necklace, a one-of-a-kind design, I wanted to make another ooak design. So here are the beads I'm pondering:
Large luscious creamy vintage glass pearls and two gorgeous lampwork rings... Yes glass lampwork rings! These rare glass rings have been coated with real copper and are absolutely stunning and match the pearls so beautifully. I can't wait to get my hands on these!

Habit

A few weeks ago I came across this intriguing blog Habit. It is the collaboration between Emily and Molly. Habit is an attempt to capture the truth of everyday lives without staging. Real pictures of real life with captions of 36 words (or less) to capture the essence of a moment - or a whole day. This way they will hold onto the bits of daily live, the things we would otherwise forget.

They've created a flickr group and anyone who joins may post their own habit-style photo and caption. And some of these will be included on the main habit blog!

Here is mine for today...


And my moms apple pie...

summer is … drawing to a close

As summer winds down we all begin thinking of back-to-school and daydreaming about fall weather. A few days ago there was this beautiful treasury made by LadyBalboa that made it to Etsy's Front Page that I just had to share with you. Isn't it gorgeous?

In one of my previous posts I mentioned a design I was working on with pretty juicy berry shaded lampwork and vintage glass and chain. Here is a sneek peak picture of the necklace and I must say it turned out beautifully!

New! Value Line series

This week I am starting my new 'Value Line' series. I will be offering pieces using different materials such as contemporary glass beads, gun metal, brass, copper and more. You get the same handmade look and quality without the cost of gemstone and sterling silver. This new series is an addition to my other series; Vintage Flair, Casual Luxury, Lampwork Classics and Simply Silver. Here is a little sneek peak...
