Sparkling Peacock

Red Boho Concept

I liked my Rouge Hemp and Copper necklace so much, I decided I want to make a longer version. Here is my initial idea:

I have some small antiqued copper beads that would go really well with the tubes I used on the shorter necklace. In the illustration I have a single strand. Since the cording is so thin, I am torn between making it thin and delicate, or layering for more "heft". The existing piece has three strands and is still pretty delecate, but I kind of like that about it. It is simple and understated which gives it an air of sophistication you wouldn't normally associate with hemp jewelry.

Flight Club

I have a silver feather necklace I made a couple of years ago (I lengthened it and added some silver beads since the version in the link), that I just love. It is on a long chain and it just goes with just about every outfit. It is shiny though, and every now and then I wear something that is a little more "dressed down" or earthy and it doesn't quite work- but more due to the finish than the style. So... what's a girl to do? Make another version of course!

This time in antiqued brass:

Mossy Pebbles

This necklace was something I wanted to make for a while. I love green and copper, so I wore this necklace proudly today. It was exceptionally easy to wear!

Glitter and Smoke

Black is my neutral. I wear black or gray just about every day at work. Yes, I do use a pop of color so I don't look like I am attending a funeral every day. I needed a new go-to neutral necklace for work. I think I made it- it is a mix of smokey gray, black and metallic silver Czech glass faceted beads all on silver chain. Perfect for adding a little sparkle to the daily uniform!

She Doesn't Know It

She doesn't know it, but my sister is getting a necklace. What's the occasion? None. Why? Because I looooove her. Hee hee...

Plastic Diversion

I let my creative bug get the best of me this weekend. I had a few projects planned, but they got trumped by these:

Custom phrase necklace... in this case, I am getting prepped for St. Patty's Day with the classic "Kiss Me, I'm Irish" phrase.


I also created a floral motif pendant with an illustration I hand-drew:



These are a lot of fun because they are truly customizable and unique. I can make just about anything I want into a fun, plastic charm.

New Choker

This is an experiment both in style and color. I decided to try a new choker with different shades and styles of blue, green and clear glass beads. It has a lobster claw clasp that clips to a large finished ring both with a silver tone finish.
