I miss you everyday!



dreamy snowflake , soutache and fur necklace

 

this challenge was so much fun

i had so many ideas , it was hard to be limited to just one

fortunately the box of mixed beads was

 more than enough to create several projects

(see my northern lights wire necklace here)

i was so excited to work with fur for the first time

and the soutache cord was a wonderful way to feature these lovely beads

they come in a variety of color

see all the artists work here

northern lights beaded and wire necklace

i always love a challenge

my friend carmi  sent me these fabulous mixed beads

from john bead

12 artists where give a different color and asked to create something

see all the fabulous creations here

there are a variety of beads and i had tons leftover

so i worked on second set

and then some!

fun with wire

i love playing with wire

its very zen to me

 

shell necklace part two

 

since my october post of my shell and pearl necklace

i've worked on a few more versions

i can't decide which one i like best 

 

the shell leaves i found at the john bead outlet

 reminded me of wings

so i expanded on the last few ideas

this one just took on a life of its own

i think it would be great for a champagne color wedding
