First Week of Beading

I have recently discovered a new hobby: jewelry making. It's a blast! Sometimes I find inspiration from other jewelry pieces I own or have seen, other times I see the beads and have a "vision" of what they can become, and then there are times I just make something up from the left-overs.

My friend and I started together. It's always nice to have an outside perspective of your work. We've decided to post our creations on Etsy.com to hopefully fund our new favorite pastime. There will be necklaces, bracelets, earings, and sets for sale. I'm also going to take requests. I already have one from my sister-in-law! :)

Here are some of the pieces I've done already. I am currently working on three new ones but need to make yet another run to the store! Forgive the lack of photography skills. I'm still learning how to take the close ups.














Sally's Shells

This one was inspired by a necklace I own. I'm planning on making matching earrings. There are also a few different colors I would like to make too.

Brittany

(Twister Pearls in Bronze)

This is the one that my sister-in-law took. I definitely need to get supplies to make more of these because I want one too! It also comes in creamy pearls with gold accent beads called Suzanne, as well as other styles to come!

Blue Roses

I found the beads and knew they went together perfectly. This is another I'm keeping, but can definitely make more of.

Pretty in Pearls!

Pearls are always beautiful. These are fun with pendants and earrings.

Catherine

Made from the "left-overs" (shh don't tell!) you'd never know it! This set is elegant while being fun.

Go Green

Spring is here and I've noticed bright, lime green is really popular this season. As is jewelry with charms and things dangling off of it. This set has both!














Blue Bells

You should know that I love the color blue! I'll tell you my favorite color is purple, but there is just something about blue that I can't avoid.

I think that's pretty much everything I've made so far. If you like what you see, let me know! I may have one available, otherwise I would be more than happy to take an order. I'm also open to suggestions, and custom requests. I'm still figuring out the pricing, but if you're curious I can speed up that process. ;)
