About 167 of us showing some things we do if we actually use the beads :-)
I want to thank Lori Anderson again for being such a great host for those hops and opportunities to play along with other designers over the world !
Stay strong we need and love You !!
As usual I did not make the things I intended so some of the used stash is old and some new....
First out a pair of earrings with my handmade ceramic triangle beads with feathers + Czech glass and linen ...copper wires. I have lots of my own beads hoarding in drawers and still want to use other designers beads too...
Necklace
with amazing Quartz stone point and polymer art bead in front ( I did buy that art bead very long ago so no shop name sorry). Lots of silk ( I have so much silk to use !)
and cords small beads (Czech and pearls) sewn into the silk around the
neck. Closes with another raw quartz at the side as a button. Czech beads are great to use every where!
here are earrings to match the necklace with those spectacular raw Quartz points and vintage beads (sterling ear wires made by myself) Those quartz points are double or multi terminated so they have nice strong energies :-)
I have a lovely selection of vintage beads that need to be used
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
like those with Czech glass new style....hard to resist those beads on the fabulous pictures in the shops .......eeeeekkk
and this pair with gorgeous Swarovski faceted big guys and Titanium plated Quartz
+ handmade ox. copper wires with beads on
My stash of Swarovski beads is not small and I rarely use them those days as my jewelry is turning more and more tribal..
One more Talisman necklace, this one with lots of goddies from Petra! I got a package Yesterday from her and just had to make something at once :-) Love her ceramic charms
added some Czech beads and Botswana agate ....can be worn long or wrapped like this!(good to use some of my horded chain too..this is a fantastic raw brass chain ..added some ox)
Those earrings have some more from her shop...lovely wood looking shards ;-) had to use them too...+ wooden beads and red lampwork. I have lots of nice lampwork in my drawers. Some made by my dear friends over seas !
and finally.... a color-boost with silk and Jade for my daughter Lina, color and flower lover, who left Sweden for New Zealand a few weeks ago. Working as fire engineer constructing at the rebuilding of the town Christchurch. She left in beginning of Swedish summer and landed in darkest winter down under. (though I must say their winter is like our spring over here )
Those are not finished and I may make some more for the stack........
I was planning to make more jewelry but am very busy with garden and house at the moment ...here some nice things I will use soon..
Scarab pendant from my friend Dorcas (making a necklace for men) and a huge Basha bead....big hollow bead from Claire..... some ancient roman glass ... and brass bells
I will soon start a HUGE destash sale in my Etsy shop AngelWhisperer
