These Earrings

were inspired by Erin's dragonfly image.

I was taken by the colors.

So I searched through my stash and created these.

I used:

Misc. Czech glass, Vintaj items, 

crystal rondelles, & round carnelian beads.

Went with a long duster style earring 

to mimic a pair of earrings that are my favorite.

Color of the year ~ Radiant Orchid

Radiant Orchid

Had fun playing with this color and making this necklace and earrings.

Spring Bracelet

This is a bracelet I made that will be in the 

2014 Spring issue of Jewelry Stringing magazine. 

I'm selling 3 starter kits on Etsy.

This is a Starter Kit to make a bracelet
similar to mine. 

A great way to feature an artisan bead.

You can add a different toggle like the one I used in the magazine,

I used a Green Girl butterfly toggle (not included in this kit.) 
(Lima beads has them for $10.00 each)

You can then add a spring themed Grace bead of your choosing
 to go with this kit. 

(Grace bead not included in this starter kit) 

I went with the puffed pillow Bee bead. 
But a flower design or dragonfly might be more your style.

Which can be found at Art beads, Lima beads, and Grace beads.
Approx $9.00 a piece

Then string it up on stringing wire of your choice. 

You will get:

1 - Antique silver metal 26mm flower toggle

9 - Spring Green frosted glass flower beads (top drilled)

2 -10mm Hamilton gold glass pearl beads

1 - 8mm Hamilton gold glass pearl

2 - 8mm soft green glass pearl beads
