Spring Blessings

"The beauty of spring" was Artbeads theme for February and March. As part of their blogging program I was asked to design a piece of jewelry with my interpretation of Spring. I was able to choose from any of the products on their website. This was not easy for me as they have such a vast array of wonderful products. I finally settled on a variety of pressed Czech glass beads in an array of luscious colors, of all glass beads Czech glass are my absolute favorites.

Spring Blessings Long Necklace

This long lariat style necklace is a collection of colorful wire wrapped czech glass beads. These beads are so rich in color and most are faceted so they catch the light nicely. Copper chain and copper spacers are also used to accent these stunning beads. The lariat style makes this piece versatile.I added one of my handmade bird resin pieces as a dangle. Necklace measures 32" with additional 7" from brass ring to the end of the cross.
You can find this piece in my Flap Your Wings Etsy shop.

Spring Fling Earrings

Some folks like to have matching earrings so I made these dangles to go with the necklace. Bright yellow turquoise beads are accented with Czech glass roundelles. Such a great combination and so alive with color. These can be found in my Etsy shop.
