This is so bright for some reason, but I really like this necklace. It's very cute and I love these colors together.
This is another long one. I like this a lot! It is smaller beads, so it is not very heavy. It looks great!
These earrings are blue turquoise and silver beads. They are very nice looking!

This one is a greenish gray rock bead with silver accents and a turquoise filagree pendant. I really love this combination.
This is a very nice turquoise square chunk beaded necklace with a cool/different pendant.
This one is really cool. I have one for myself that's pretty similar. Blue turquoise irregular shaped beads with a red jasper pendant.

Craft Fair Crazy!

It's a little longer. If you're interested in it, I can measure it!
Another filagree necklace. I've made a couple of these in different colors and they look great on!
Filagree blue turquoise bracelet.
These earrings are similar to the ones I had published in the magazine. They are a great mix of colorful blues.

This one is 4 strands and is made out of yellowish-green turquoise beads. Very nice.
Red turquoise chip bead earrings.
Blue turquoise drop earrings. So girly! I love them.
These beads remind me of legos. They stack so nice.

A Couple New Ones

2011-10-30T18:19:00.000-07:00

This necklace looks really good around your neck. It is made out of big blue barrel turquoise beads with silver accent beads. The cool part about it is the pendant. It is really a belt buckle. I don't think anyone would ever guess that! This necklace is very heavy duty and looks great!

These earrings are the perfect length and they are not too heavy on your ears. They are made out of blue turquoise beads with silver seed beads.
These earrings are such a great color and size. I love the wire wrapping and silver accent beads.

Busy Still.....

These are some filagree earrings I made and I can make them with any color little beads on the bottom. I have a few different varieties to post on here soon. Keep checking back!
I really like this necklace because I am really into the bigger ball beads right now. I really like this pendant a lot too.
This one is made with turquoise chip beads and a carved wooden pendant. I almost always use a magnetic closure on necklaces. They are so handy to put on and easy to take off. Everyone loves the magnetic closures.
This necklace has a really nice big shell pendant. I love these green disc beads. The combo looks great!
This necklace has a shell oval pendant with unique green turquoise watermelon shaped beads. It looks great on.

I've been busy

2011-10-18T07:36:00.000-07:00

I am trying to build up my supply for a show and a couple parties I have coming up. I know now that my favorite thing to make is necklaces. I also love to make earrings, but necklaces first. I am finding that I have a harder time making bracelets for some reason. I am working on it! These earrings go with almost every necklace I make. They match, but don't take away from the focal point. They are very cute and light.

These little cuties match a couple of necklaces I've made recently. They also look great as their own center piece with no necklace.
The blue cubes are fun because they are such a different shape than I'm used to.
These earrings are made out of Chinese Turquoise and Sterling Silver wire.
These are straight to the point! They have silver beads and silver beads with a little sun on them. I like them because they are a little different.
I like these ones a lot. They look like they are a little more dressy.
Big watermelon beads. I can't get enough of the silver colored earrings because you can wear them everyday.
A four strand little beaded bracelet. I am really liking the multi layered stuff.

Chunky chip turquoise beads. I like this bracelet on a lot. It thick and I like that style. It also has a matching necklace, pictured below, and some earrings that I will post on the next one.

This one has a shell pendant and of course blue turquoise beads. I wish I had a ton of those shell pendants. They look great!
I am really into the big ball beads right now. You really can't go wrong with this color either. Gorgeous!!!
This one has the oval shell pendant and it's a little shorter so you can wear it with any shirt. It looks very nice on.

I'm Famous!!!

2011-10-04T18:29:00.000-07:00

It's finally here. My jewelry got published in Bead Trends Magazine. It looks so good to. I have this turquoise bracelet and the earrings pictured below in the October issue and I have 2 or 3 items coming out in November's issue. I am so excited and it makes me want to send in more items.
Here are the earrings. The photography looks so nice to. I have to say thanks to my sister Joey. She is the one who made me enter all my pieces in the magazine. I am so happy she did. I think it's pretty cool. Thanks Joey! I can't wait to show you all in person.

More Blues

2011-09-04T13:30:00.000-07:00

Here are some more pieces from the summer. This one has a stained glass pendant. I like the odd shape of these beads. It makes this necklace even more unique.

Some little cuties.
Oh boy, blue ball earrings!
I really love this necklace. I have an addiction to turquoise and I have a problem with making new pieces and keeping them for myself! I guess that is a benefit of the job, right?

Busy Summers!

2011-08-04T21:59:00.000-07:00

Here are a few of my summer pieces. I have been so busy that I haven't got a ton made for awhile. Just a few pieces here and there. This one is red rice coral beads and turquoise. It is 4 strands.
Green cone loop earrings. These have sterling silver cones and wire wrapped at the top with sterling silver ear hooks also.
These are yellow jade and turquoise earrings. I think these colors go great together.
I like these ones even more in person. Yellow and blue turquoise beads. The different shapes and colors are a great contrast.
Here is a blue turquoise and silver accent beaded bracelet. So cute that I made a matching collar for my dog!

Newest Flavors

2011-06-22T20:25:00.001-07:00

Here is a bright blue beauty with two layers. This idea, for me, is new. I like it though. I took apart a necklace I bought to get those nice silver circles. I feel like this is a more fancy necklace. It is very pretty.
This bracelet is two strands of short turquoise tube beads. Very cute on. I am always trying to think of new ideas for bracelets. I don't know why they are the hardest for me. I always want to think of a new design that is different than anything i've seen.
I like this one a lot. It looks really good on. Do you get sick of looking at all the turquoise I have? I am addicted!
This one is really nice on too. The pendant is made out of wood. I also really like to use round beads a lot. Let me know what you think!

This precious gem is a dainty bracelet that matches some earrings and that new butterfly necklace.
This necklace is a black river rock stone necklace with a stained glass pendant. It is very nice looking.
This beauty is super nice. It is made out of chunky white turquoise beads and a redish orange jasper pendant. It looks really good on too. I am just not a very good model!

A breath of fresh ideas

2011-06-19T20:41:00.000-07:00

This beauty already sold, but it was and is really cute. It looks like a chain, but it is all beads. Click on the picture to see it a little better.
This one is a chunky medium length necklace. I love these colors together. It is made with orange ish coral and blue turquoise beads.
This is a turquoise nugget bracelet with silver beads in between each blue bead. It looks even better on.
This is the necklace from above from a little different view.
I only made one of these earrings. What do you think? Should I make the other one to match? I think I might! Momma likey!
This is a long turquoise necklace. It's all the same color, just different shapes. I like it. It is very classy.
I just started playing with the multi-strand idea with necklaces. I really like it and black goes with anything! I use magnetic closures a lot of times and that works great if you have little kids. You don't have to worry about them pulling on it and breaking it. It works out great.

3 new Necklaces

2011-04-05T19:56:00.000-07:00

This one is a longer one. If you don't have big boobs it would be even longer!
This is my favorite color of turquoise I think. This necklace looks great on and off. I love the chunky pendant and big beads together.
This is a green chunky beaded necklace with a stone pendant. It is very nice.

Thanks for looking!

This weeks work

2011-04-02T22:33:00.000-07:00

This one I might have to keep for myself. I really like how it came out. I wondered for so long, "what am I going to do with those beads?" I guess I figured it out.
The shadow on this makes it look warped, but it's not. I really like this new beads I just got at the bead faire. They look great.
Matching bracelet.
New beads that are like a pumpkin shape, but a greenish blue turquoise. It is a different color of turquoise that has some white in there too. I think it turned out really nice.
The problem with making jewelry is that I keep a little too much for myself. Like this bracelet I like because it is chunky enough to wear on it's own. I have more beads to make more if any one is interested!
Green turquoise and like a thin rock necklace. A different look for me, but I like it.

A few new items

2011-03-28T16:37:00.000-07:00

I've got the bug again. The jewelry bug! I got in the mood to make some jewelry again and wanted to share a few new pieces. I really like turquoise and this cute little beads look great on earrings.
This is one bracelet that looks like 3 in 1. I might add another strand of turquoise to even it out. I think it is nice to have a few layers to the bracelet than just one single, thin strand.
These green turquoise earrings are really cute. Here are two views of them.

I love the wrapped wire earrings. These are made with sterling silver wire and nice turquoise beads.
This bracelet has a pair of matching earrings. Sweet and simple.

Some new items

2010-11-16T20:00:00.000-08:00

These earrings are a cute pair that my friend Jill bought from me at the craft fair. I think they are pretty cute.
This is a big chunky turquoise necklace that is really heavy. Its cool because is so big. This picture doesn't do it justice when in comes to the size.
This one is just like the one above, but it is green turquoise. Super chunky and nice! I like it.
This one is a long one that I am glad it didn't sell at the craft fair because I think I want to keep it. It seems like every time I make a new necklace, it is better than the one before. I am so in love with making jewelry and getting better at it. It is great fun. This is what I was looking for for so long to fulfill my creative outlet.
This one is cool because it makes a little jingle sound when you wear it. It is a long one too. I have big boobs so it isn't as long on me as it is if you are flat chested. Just a little FYI. Probably a little bit too much info!
This is my earring display for the craft fair. I took a cd rack from the second hand store and painted it white. Then I sanded it so it didn't look brand new. It turned out great!
A different view.
This one was a necklace I made for my sister. A special order. The pendant is an old Jasper necklace that I made into a pendant. This color of stone is harder to find. I am always looking. More to come because I am about to put it all on Etsy.

New Earrings

2010-07-21T13:32:00.001-07:00

I am copying a pair of earrings that I bought at a craft fair. I love them and I wear them almost everyday. The bad thing about them is they are sterling silver and they cost a lot to make. It makes me not want to make very many because no one will pay that much for earrings.
These are sterling silver beads with a turquoise beads in the middle. They aren't very long so they are perfect for people who don't like really dangly earrings.
I really like these ones too. I am so excited about earrings lately.
Simple and to the cute point!
I like these ones so much I am going to make me a pair. I really like these ones.
