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.

Erin's Bracelet

I made this for a friend a few weeks ago. It is made with Amethyst beads and copper wire. She saw a picture of the bracelet and insisted she have one right away :) I had to custom make this one for her since she loved the copper look. :)
I also used Purple Swarovski Crystals and small glass seed beads.
This design I learned from a magazine I subscribe to. I can not find the design anywhere in my stash of jewelry magazines. I subscribe to Step by Step Wire and Beadwork. I also bought this wonderful book by Linda Jones. I keep thinking this design is from her book but when I go through the pages I can't find it. I think I have misplaced the magazine of Step by Step Wire and the design is hiding in that one issue. Who knows what I have done with it. I have all the other ones except this one. I am just glad I had pictures of the first bracelet I did and could copy the design :)


Down below is the version in silver artistic wire. This is the original first bracelet in this design that I have made.

Lacy's Project

OH I am so excited to post this blog about a custom piece I made for a friend of mine.
Lacy had this out fit and she wanted me to make her some jewelry. I think the set is so beautiful.
I used Amethyst beads , howlite chips, purple seed beads and crystals.

This is my favorite way to make jewelry. The customer calls me up and says hey can you design this for me? OF course I take on the challenge. I really like how pieces come together with two people designing. The dress is a lovely canvas for my designs! The colors to die for! Can you tell I am such a nerd! Ok so anyway enough chatter. Here is the pictures of the dress and the jewelry.

I am hoping soon I can get Lacy to take pictures of her in the dress with the jewelry. I will post them as soon as I get them. :)
I WILL APOLOGIZE FOR THE PICTURE QUALITY.
Sometimes i get in a rush before shipping out and manage to get pictures of the jewelry but not in natural light. The natural light catches the real colors so much better than artificial light.
I am just amatuer photographer so I am still working on my editing skills LOL
