One of my Favorites!


Today, I'm going to tell you about one of my favorite sellers on etsy. Her name is Debbi Adams, but she goes by Rocki. She is married to her soul mate, has two sons, and lives in Arizona. She is a truly kind, friendly, wonderful person. She makes fantastic silver findings - clasps, earrings, head pins. The pictures up above show you two of my favorite things she makes - the Medium Organic Wrapped Hook Clasp, and the Wild West earring wires. You can click on them to go right to them in her etsy shop. Besides the look and the quality, what makes Rocki's work the best is she does an absolutely stellar job in polishing the ends of her wire - they are so smooth. You know this is important, especially on ear wires so they don't hurt your neck behind your ears. The other thing about Rocki is, if you have a special request, she is willing to try out your idea, if it's possible. For example, I bought some chain that was oxidized with a brushed finish - she made me some ear wires and ball head pins to match. So, if you're looking for some really high quality ear wires, clasps, head pins or other components (she makes the most darling hearts), head on over to Rocki's etsy shop. Tell her Sue sent you!

Bead Soup Blog Party!

Welcome to the 3rd Bead Soup Blog Party! What is a Bead Soup Blog Party? Each beader was paired up with another jewelry designer and tasked with sending the following: ~ A focal ~ A special clasp (not just a lobster claw) ~ Some coordinating spacers or beads Using the focal and the clasp was mandatory, but we could use anything from our own stash to round out the rest, and choose to use the coordinating beads or not. You may recall my partner was Margot Potter ; click this link to see the blog post I wrote of what she sent me! Here's what I made! Dangly earrings! Come see what the rest of us made! 1.

AE Component of the Month - July - Scarabs by Me!

I provided the scarab beads for the Component of the Month Challenge over at Art Elements for July! And as usual, didn't take a photo of my own bead before I started working with it.  But here is the one I used - unfortunately, you can't see the lustrous oil slick colors of this black metallic glass because once again we have cloudy days here in Pittsburgh. I made a choker length necklace using spiral stitch and these awesome seed beads that go so well with this black metallic glass! I used hematite swarovski crystals to divide the bead stitching and the scarab focal bead; I actually ordered a pile of pairs of various black swarovski colors and decided that these match the best! I finished off the necklace with the ball socket clasp - it's a nice way to finish a spiral stitch - the size is just right and it's fairly easy to sew into the design. Please check out what our guests and team members made with their scarabs! And thanks to everyone who took par...

Bead Soup Blog Party!!!!

It's time again for the Bead Soup Blog Party, hosted by Lori Anderson.  I don't really know how she does it, she has health issues but keeps plugging away.  Thanks to Lori and to her husband and her helpers who made this work yet again this year! My partner was Rochelle Brisson from Sea Chelles Design on etsy, and her blog is A Creative Chelle .  I posted earlier about what she sent me for my soup: Usually I stress about what beads or components I'm going to add to the soup to make bunches of things, and I decided I don't really like that stress.  I wanted to stress a different way - use only what she sent me, other than whatever I was going to use to string.  I did a pretty good job, I think. I was inspired by a necklace I saw in a magazine some time ago, an assymetrical necklace that used the toggle clasp in the front for the focal.  The pretty ceramic focal hangs off the round part of the toggle clasp, in the front of the necklace.  I ...
