Pearls and Crystals

This bracelet was created per the request 

of my Husband's cousin, Shelly.

She wanted a white pearl bracelet with gold accents.

So I looked in my gold plated stash and saw that I had these 

sweet pearl and crystal links.

The rest of the bracelet came together quite quickly.

Now I didn't have a lot to choose from when it 

came to the right color of gold toggles.

So I hope she'll be okay with this quirky

hammered star toggle.

Earrings Everyday - June Challenge

This is my answer to this months challenge .

What you see here is first and second try at wire weaving.

Picked up a book that is new to me

Weaving freeform Wire Jewelry

by Kaska Firor.

In there it shows how to make a pair of dagger earrings.

I had noticed the pattern in the skylight.

Hey ...these are really similar. So I got to experiment and 

answer this months challenge at the same time. 

The Guggenheim museum central atrium

Now the funny part to me is that a friend was over 

today and were were making another pair of these 

when I remembered ....

Oh no! I hadn't created a post. 

Aghhhh!

Thank You  Erin ,

for another great challenge.
