Pink Skull Charm Bracelet


And yet another quirky bedazzling creation!
Now on my Etsy, a charming pink skull charm bracelet with many dangling baubles. Actually this one is rather simple as I wanted the skull to be the focal point. But of course!
The color scheme is pink and black with some clear crystal beads tossed into the mix, along with black hearts for that "Betsey Johnson" flavor.

Fall Confetti Bracelet


It's no secret that I love Fall. Who wouldn't with all the beautiful Fall colors? There's a crispness in the air, the sky is more blue against the big puffy clouds, and then of course there's Halloween.

My Fall Confetti bracelet is a blend of my favorite Halloween and lovely Fall colors, with a touch of whimsy tossed in of course! There are about 4 layers of beads in the making of it including; freshwater pearls in soft peach, glass, crystals, silver lined, metal, strung on a base of black beads. It's finished off with a silver toggle clasp. I will be posting it on my Etsy store today.

I'm making lots more pretties right now, so check back soon!

Little Pretties!

Hi everyone and Happy Friday! If you've been following me on Facebook, or if not, (and that's totally ok!), I mentioned that I was taking a beading class last week to learn to make jewelry and little pretties to make and sell in my shop. Well heavens to Betsy (Johnson that is), and oh my gosh - I am totally addicted now!

(the beginning of my "Blue Crush" bracelet)
I took a private class with a super nice gal who teaches at our local craft shop. With my school schedule, it was impossible to make her beginning classes, so she graciously invited me to her gorgeous house and taught me anything I was interested in learning. Being the over-eager Bag that I am, we went right from A to D - moving past all steps in between. LOL! Rest assured, I learned all the basics and a lot more. I brought pics of jewelry I specifically want to make for my store, and we got right to it.

Since then, I think I've boosted the local economy - LOL! buying all sorts of beads and findings, storage containers, etc., and the collection has just begun!

I know that lots of people are making beautiful jewelry and selling it everywhere, so the market is probably considered flooded with the stuff. But that's ok and I'm not a bit discouraged! The more the merrier I say! There's always room for more creations as everyone's taste is different. No artist should ever be discouraged cause of that.

My goal? I am going to make my Halloween jewelry of course, but then I will also add for other seasons as well, hopefully putting out a good variety for everyone to enjoy any time of year. My focus will be great quality, reasonable prices, with a dab of quirk on the side! What'd ya expect??
