Swarovski Teardrops

This is a custom order for one of my favorite hair clients! She wanted a black necklace..told me to do what I wanted..so here is what I came up with.

And I named it after her!

"Georgia Rose"

" Olive Nuggets and Wood Drop"
If you like the out of the ordinary necklace..you might like this one!

Sweet Heart

What a sweet necklace for Valentines Day or any day!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

These are the Swarovski Series Necklaces that have been so popular..and you can see why! Everyone that sees them lets out a little Gasp..ooooOOO or ahhhhh!!

They are gorgeous in their own right so I just simply wire wrapped the Teardrop and attached a Chain and Toggle Clasp.

Next I oxidized the necklace dark and then buffed it to give it that time worn look!

"Ocean Blue"

Smokey..Shades of Mysterious Blue!

"Vitrail" (medium)

All colors of the rainbow..very Vibriant!

"Vitrail" (light)

A Fabulous Pastel Rainbow!

"Burmuda Blue"

Intense Blue..Aqua and Green!

Wire Wrapped Rings

Lilac Flower

I finally have all the different colors of those little Carved Flower Rings Listed!

They have turned out to be a hit! I love making them..each one getting better and better..its quite a skill to master!

The flowers are cute but I think I'll start looking for something else unique to Wire Wrap a Ring with.....hmmmmmmmmm

Wonderful feedback from a customer!

Ahh this is the ring of my dreams and it fits perfectly! Everything was right, down to the packaging. Thanks Leslie!

Pink Posey

Rosemary Mint

Turquoise Flower

Cahoots Handbags

I remember when I first ordered these handbags from Cahoots...I was sooooooo excited to get them! It was the best box of goodies I ever got in the mail!

I had drooled over these purses forever and finally decided to order some to sell in my hair salon sure that they wouldn't last the day!

Well everyone did love them but I think most people in my town were alittle scared to make the purchase..so I still have them.

They are beautiful, brand new and still have the tags on them. And they are so popular even with celebrities, been featured in magazines..They retail for $120 and I'm letting them got for $48!!!

Here is Cahoots website:

I'm in another showcase on Tuesday..I'll post that later!

Here's to Super Shoppin Sunday ( I hope)

Earrings and New Ring Colors

Floral Turquoise Hoops

These fat bean beads and Gold Hoop Earrings came together so perfect..the irredecsent patina on the hoops and the mottled picasso effect of the beads really play off of one another!

Picasso Hoops and Daggers

These fireploished picasso czech beads are so dimentional with many layers of color..they remind me of stained glass windows!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A little sneak of the new ring colors...When I make the ring it is Bright Silver at first..so this is the first set of pictures.

Then I oxidize them to a dark gray..take a pic

Then I buffed off the dark hitting the high parts only creating depth to the metal..take the third pic

So I will do the last 2 stages Sunday ..get the pics and get them listed!

Have a great Weekend!

Blue Bell Flower

Olive Orchid

Sun Flower

Fido and the Owl

OOOOOooooo This is my new favorite necklace! When I found the Howlite Owl Pendant I couldn't believe it! Because I just happen to have the perfect Howlite Beads already! I love when that happens!

I oxidized the Sterling Wire Dark and added Gray Swarovski Crystals to bring out the Natural Gray Marble-like markings in the Stones!

My cat fidi-silliO is the nosiest cat..he just has to be in the middle of everything...seeing what is going on!!!

Briana from BennyandRoo on Etsy did it for me. She was so patient and wanted me to be completely happy...we went through many trys until finally it had the Wow Factor I was looking for!

Hope everyone likes it!

"Lace Teardrop"

Such a pretty soft necklace..its a little more "petite" than some of the recently listed ones

Does LOVE STINK? or are you LOVESTRUCK?!

When I saw this Pendant, I just knew I didn't have to do much to create a stand out piece of jewerly!

So I added the most complimentary Chain and a Pink-ish /Redish Bead near the Clasp, and VOILA!

"Pink Mosaic Lady"

"Love Struck" Earrings

I was going to name them "Love Stinks" because of the Black Color...but I thought maybe I shouldn't..What do you think?..Drop me a comment :)

Sweet Hearts

I'm trying to get all my heart necklaces made in plenty of time before Valentine's Day! I'm not into the traditonal RED heart thing..I like to put my own Twist on things. That way you are not stuck with a "wear once a year" necklace!

"Haute Heart"

"Chartreuse with Envy"

"My Darling Clementine"
