Earrings Earring Earrings! That's my personal theme of the day!! I  can't get enough and I love giving them as gifts and receiving them too:) The focal bead on these is a ceramic bead. It is delicately painted with a bright blue color and matches my lamp work beads tucked in there. 

Happy FRIDAY to all!  ...Happy Creating!!



 These winter days have been so gorgeous...even more so when you can just stay put and enjoy them.  I am thinking summer dates and getting applications in for events in the warm months. But in the mean time I am enjoying this beauty.  I had a little visitor to my feeders.  It was fun to discover the tracks in the morning. 

This piece called for a lot of wire wrapping, small details and fun.  The four center beads are a deep brownish purple glass.  With them are copper findings, dangling stones and discs of all sorts.  I am now thinking about the early March event in Clarence.  New pieces and new ideas to bring to that show.  Can't wait! Hope everyone is having a nice beginning to the week..happy creating! 

 Gorgeous Sunday! What a week of weather and I have to say...I can not recall driving in worse conditions. It's gorgeous but every time I arrived at my destination I was beyond relieved.  Today the sun is shining, projects are in the works and I guess there is some kind of big football game tonight.  The Bills are not playing but I will pay it some mind and at least do some snacking or something. 

 This necklace has an  Ecuadorian nut bead, a brass button, a wooden disc, my lamp work stack and a gorgeous stone disc. It hangs on varied dark brown leathers with antiqued copper findings. 

                           Gorgeous Sunday! The sun is shining and the snow is sparkling!

These deep violet beads are beyond easy to make and dangle with antiqued copper findings.  Sometimes just the color of a the bead and the transparent small size is simple and enough. 

These sweet treasure will be hanging out with some lamp work very soon! 

 

I must be running my blog on the NHL schedule. I'm back though and have a show on the horizon which will motivate me to produce and update..yes! Time management is difficult and jewelry making is something I dream about at night but not always doing at the moments I want to. Below are three lamp work beads I created that are rolled in frit. I was gifted a large ceramic bead...it was like they were all destined to be together and with coffee and the energy of a Sunday morning...they finally met..

I am still here...but I am having the worst difficulty with my blog. I am not computer minded to say the least and the photo option to upload pics has changed.  I am unable to upload from my computer but must now bring the pics of Picassa Web option...I have tried to do this and can not figure the dig darn thing out..
I am still making jewelry like a crazy person but it is less interesting without pics. I am going to either figure it out of change my blog...I will post with updates. I hope everyone is doing well out there and I wish happy computer functioning on you:)

 Merry Christmas and general happiness during this holiday season! I can't imagine a better holiday and I am so thankful. It is complete and I hope everyone is having a safe and joyous day as well. 

 Here some pics of outside in the freshly fallen snow as well as newbies from the kiln that have some blue hues and bright new color for the new year.
