Day 88: Hematite hearts, glass beads, gunmetal tone components

Not on Vacation...

No, I haven't been on vacation or slacking on my project! I have been cranking out something every day without fail. However, Comcast apparently did not want me to share with the world! So I have been making the items, taking the pictures, but with no internet for several days, I was unable to post. My service was repaired this morning so here we go!

This is what I have been up to:

Day 85: Silver tone components, acrylic buttons
I realized I had not made much jewelry with white accents. These are are opaque but with the disco ball like facets, they glitter! It is subtle flash here and there, but overall, simple and I think these are very elegant.

Day 86: Silver tone components, silver tone metal beads, glass beads

Another fun, Spring- inspired creation. I made the bracelet as my project and I liked it so much, I made a necklace too!

Day 87: Czech two-tone, iridescent glass beads, silver tone components

Origami Butterfly

Another dreary, rainy day where I am dreaming of Spring. Why does Mother Nature have to be so fickle? We had temperatures in the high 70's within the week- and it is coat weather again. My cherry tree knows Spring is around the corner. I will admire the beautiful blooms for now and welcome the weather when it is here to stay!

Blue Fluff

I have this silk plant in my house that has these little blue "puff balls" as the flowers. I am not sure of the name of it, but I really enjoy the steely blue color and the whimsy of the little poofs.

Toasted

My "bead oven" blew the fuse so my timer didn't work. Result- a toasted pendant!
I think I will antique it later to take advantage of the new color. It kind of reminds me of a vintage postcard for some reason anyway.
