Saturday Morning Fever...

I'm so in love with everyone's craftiness lately. I wish I could draw and sew as good as all of you! :P

<3 <3 <3 <3


Hopefully you guys think my jewelry skills are okay...ooo, and I've tried to take better pictures too :)






I'll start with earrings. I never used to make earrings - but they can be made to be like little affordable trasures, so why not, right? :)

Here's a simple pair with pearls(I posted an antique brass version of these before):

***
Then these cute earrings - gunmetal, PRETTY aqua jade beads and butterfly beads from years ago (they finally found a home, I'd say):

***
These earrings are probably my most 'glam' - pretty little citrine beads (faceted, too!) leaf charms and antique brass chain:

***
Okay, necklaces...

First, the 'Old Photo of a Tree' pendant necklace! Transfer method (tutorial here) on polymer clay, and brown cord:

***
The Blue Slurpee necklace - handwrapped beads on antique brass:

(I didn't notice that the front and center beads aren't laying flat in this pic, oops!)
***
The 'Dark Chocolate Lava Rock' necklace - I used a large, square lava rock bead and simulated onyx beads for this off-centered one:

***
Lastly, a new Frame Pendant Necklace! It can be worn 4 different ways - 4-in-1! Frames from the hardwars store, 'pictures' from transfer method of origami paper and designer paper, with a citrine dangle:


Side 1, worn 2 diff ways...

Side 2, worn 2 diff ways...

That took me almost 40 minutes...lol...hope you like!
