Band Togo With Gold & Silver Earrings

Thursday, July 16This band yesterday completed. I REALLY LIKE it!! Husband loves it!! He's requested that we maintain this collection, such as the ear-rings.As we used to help make the jewelry with two conditions we used exactly the same materials. Bead caps were included by me to some of the Silver ovals. Simply To change the appearance a little and not need them all exactly the same. And we included several daisy spacers when wirewrapping the smooth oblong Jasper beads. Again, to include variety.Bracelet includes a gold-plated lobster-claw clasp and measures 8.An ideal complement towards the ear-rings.

Antique Beads and More!

While I was visiting Missouri, I dragged took Joe antiquing. My cool finds were a jar full of antique buttons and one very large quart size jar of antique beads! Here is a picture of some of the beads: Here is a bag full of glass or real pearls: And metal beads, large beads, charms and chains: Then here is the best find of them all; my mothers pile of costume jewelry: I plan to make something for my sister and I with some of the costume jewelry. I dont want to spoil the surprise, so I will keep mum! I also picked up 3 new books on beading for inspiration: Last night, I started a new project to showcase the silver leaf with small crystals embedded. I am playing with the idea of hanging the pendant off from a thin spiral peyote bead necklace: Not sure how this will pan out, but this is how I design just start and change directions if need be. The spiral beaded chain may be too heavy for the silver leaf. If so, I will change the beaded necklace design. What are you creating or working on? SCORE!!!!! Wow! Cool beads! I love pearls anything you make with them will be fab. I have a weekend of quilting planned pin one, quilt two.
