jewelry...

[http://users.livejournal.com/lindalee_/]

Last night I made this set, presumably for myself. These are the beads I've been hoarding. They're so... earthy... and unique... and I LOVE them. Love love love them.

Anyway... here is the set...





Here are the beads... so yes I do still have some left...



This one just shows how the bracelet sits on my wrist. These pictures can't do the necklace justice. I paired the beads with Smoky Quartz and red and olive green Swarovski crystals. And leather, and sterling silver wire.

I like the way the bracelet sits on my wrist. It's a bracelet I can actually wear while typing, and it doesn't bug me.


Here is the Halloween jewelry. I squeaked 3 bracelets and 6 pairs of earrings out of all the beads I got (Handmade lampwork beads from a woman on Etsy)... only 1 pair of ghosts though! 2 pairs of candy corn earrings, 2 pairs of pumpkin earrings, and 1 mis-matched (1 candy corn, 1 pumpkin) pair. I might keep the mis-matched pair. I'm temped to keep the bracelet at the top, but I know myself well enough to know I would never wear it.



I LOVE this set and am highly tempted to keep it. But... no. I won't. I'll be a good girl...



I have become obsessed with buying lampwork beads, handmade by etsy artists.
