With one daughter gone for the long weekend, I found some extra time to create. I fixed several earrings, made a simple one for my younger daughter, fixed a bracelet, and finished my double pearl necklace! Here's a couple pics of the necklace:
I love the color of these golden - brown - champagne pearls! They are fresh water pearls that I got at a trade show. I made one necklace and Elaine said I should make it a double strand. What I actually did was make two necklaces at different lengths and both with adjustable chains in the back so I have more wearable options. I love it. If I were to do it again though, I'd probably put a link of chain between each wire wrapped pearl so it doesn't kink between loops. I still love it though! Gotta get more jewelry boxes by Redenvelope!
I also made a couple new earrings to put in my etsy shop:
This one has a square copper link and a flat square czech glass bead and picasso finished rondelle hanging from it. It hangs from a copper plated leverback earwire.
This set is made with gunmetal links, ball headpins and earwires. I love the color of the flat czech glass beads and the rondelles.
Okay, yes, after all these months, or has it been a year, or more, I am reopening my etsy. I will upload a bunch of earrings by the end of the week. I want to get involved again with this blog and my etsy store. My plan is that if I reopen the store, it serves two purposes, I can sell some of the jewelry that I continue to make (because I can't wear everything!) and it will help me be more committed to this blog - which I REALLY want to try to upkeep this year.
Happy President's Day off! :)
