Inspiration Avenue Weekly Challenge
























Hello all fellow bloggers and readers.
This post is for the weekly challenge for Inspiration Avenue Weekly Challenge
http://inspiration-avenue-team.blogspot.com/2010/10/bringing-in-sheaves-sowing-in-morning.html


When I hear the word "Harvest" I think of the wonderful colors of the fall leaves and My harvest of wonderful beads that represents those colors. The fall weather and colors seem to sooth me. Here is a set of jewelry I made that represents fall and harvest.
I used Jasper round beads, square crystal accents and ceramic bead for the end of the focal point of the necklace. I made all the links and clasps with non tarnish artistic wire (copper core).
This wire is very delicate and should be treated with care.

The bracelet I made with random agate pieces an base metal accent focal point. All links handmade by me with non tarnish artistic wire (copper core).

New Items made with Magpie Gemstones






















Well hello everyone. I have been working hard on making new pieces. I was successful at the Art's Goggle this fall and was very happy with my sales. I wanted to post piece I made with Magpie Gemstones. I love her beads and prices. This bead supply site has such quality items and I just can't advertise enough for her site. They have great customer service and fast shipments.

Here is the piece I made. I bought the skull and garnet beads from Magpie Gemstones.
This is a one of kind piece designed by me. :) I used base metal and silver plated non tarnish wire.
This wire has a copper core.

I have a thing for skulls and I am sure I will have to buy more of these awesome skulls for future designs.
