More Customer Work

Ok, I've been telling people I was going to do this for a while, but life just seems to get in the way! We had such a busy weekend - my daughter had her high school production of Midsummer Night's Dream, and she was in the tech crew both nights and clean up on Sunday. She won a photography award and that ceremony was on Sunday as well as the Super Bowl. But here goes - some really great customer work!

First up here is Cindi Horste - she has her own web site and does some impressive jewelry designs. Those are my mango sparkle beads shown up there in the photo. She just purchased some intense blue sparkle beads from me, to make necklaces as bridesmaid's gifts! Sweet!

This one is from Pam at Cool Jewelry Design on etsy. She used the copper sparkle earring beads that I make. I like the color combo. She makes some really nice jewelry as well. Check out her shop!

Finally, these two sets of earrings were made from some sparkle beads I made Sylvia from Studio Sylvia on blogspot. She is from Australia and does some amazing work!

I'm glad I finally got around to recognizing these amazing ladies! Please check out their sites if you get a chance! Also, if you make something from any of my beads you have purchased please let me know - I'll be happy happy happy to feature them here on my blog!

No one does blue quite like you, Miss Sue. I'd love to have a big jar of your blue headpins, just to swoon over. Love the idea of making a little bouquet of them.

Peaceful day to you, friend.

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.

Bead Soup Blog Party!

Today is the day of the big Bead Soup Blog Party reveal! Lori Anderson, the wonderful host of this event, reported that there are 362 participants this year! That's a lot of blogs to look at. I will try my best to get to each and every one, but it may take weeks! My partner was Laura Zeiner from Stick Lizard Designs . She has a lot of talent, that girl. If you recall in my previous post , she sent me these beads: And this is what I made: I love love love the focal she sent me. It's gorgeous! The lack of sun here in Pittsburgh does nothing for this rock! The colors and crystals are beautiful! I had no idea what to do with it, though, and I pondered for quite a while. I decided to make links with 18 gauge copper wire and think I did an ok job at it. I'm sure there are some better ways to do this, and I'd love to hear about them. I'm just really starting to get into the world of wire and so my skills aren't that great. In any event, I made some beady links

The Tacky Earring Blog Hop

Diana Ptaszynski had a great idea, instead of a Tacky Christmas Sweater blog hop, a Tacky Holiday Earring blog hop! I was on it. I had ideas right away. I had so many I had to control myself. You can buy these for $15 each, too! Here we go! I found these awesome wreaths in the miniature Christmas section in Michaels, and they go perfectly with silver and copper colored plastic beads! These trees were found in Michaels, on an end-cap - I assume they are scrapbook or card making supplies, but make fantastic earrings. The holes were a little small and far down, so I had to make LARGE loops. Paired these with cute little gold colored jingle bells! And, finally, the ones I had in my head the moment she announced the blog hop. Dr. Seuss sparkly puff balls with ribbons. The only thing that would have made these better for me is if I could have found the red ribbons I really wanted to pair these with - don't get me wrong, the silver is cool and all, but in my head they w
