I'm all packed up and ready to go to
Art Bliss. Can you hear my screams of joy through the computer? Quite a few of my beading buddies are all a buzz about this weekend. Good times with great people. I hope to see you there.
My two partners in crime are Shelby Foxwell from
Sundown Bead Designs and Sue Kennedy from
Sue Beads. I am blessed to spend my time with such lovely ladies. Please check out their work when you have a chance. You won't be disappointed!
And now for a few pieces I've made for my mom and big sis.
My sister requested a necklace made with some gorgeous amazonite stones I acquired recently. I love these stones! Lots of character and great color.
Unfortunately, my picture really didn't do this stone justice. Some stones just have to be seen in person I guess. This is quite simple but that's the type of jewelry my sis prefers.
But I felt like the necklace was just too easy to make so I had to try something else with the same colors. Yeah, I've been making these bracelets a lot lately. I really like their bulkiness and weight. Plus, hammering the copper washers really relieves a lot of stress ;)
My mom on the other hand likes things a little more funky and crazy. She was admiring some copper face beads in my stash when I saw her last. She just loved their cute expressions and asked if I could put something together in peaches and orange. I added in the seashell and beach stone since she's a beach lover.
This guy reminds me of a wise old owl with a mustache :)
And this one reminds me of a scrawny looking scarecrow trying his best to keep away those pesky crows in the garden.
Ok, that's it for me. I wish you all the best weekend and safe travels to my friends visiting Art Bliss :)
