Inspire


Inspire –
To affect, guide, or arouse by divine influence.
To fill with enlivening or exalting emotion
To stimulate energies, ideals, or reverence.

Inspire Peacock Feather Necklace can be found on Etsy 

 



 My friend and fellow blogger Leslie of Bei Mondi had given me a great stash of beads when we got together last week. Why is it someone else's stash is always better than yours? I was thinking "fall" when I created this, darker colors, sweaters and denim. I am loving the texture of the lava stones, something I have never used. Thanks Miss Leslie for helping me think outside of my little box!

Unlock Your Dreams



..."Dreams unlock the passion, that in your heart has concealed"


A unusual antique brass key with stone cabochon has been re-fashioned into a pendant for this piece I call "Unlock Your Dreams". This one of a kind necklace has wonderful bursts of color from the handmade lampwork beads and wire wrapped lapis. Handmade brass textured bead caps add great texture. An antique watch chain has also been used and adds a unique element design. Hand forged brass hook and eye for a closure.

Handmade lampwork beads from Being Beads on Etsy.

You can find this piece on my new website. I am also hosting a giveaway to celebrate the new site. I have chosen a custom Typewriter Key Pendant to give away, you can enter here to win. Thanks for stopping by.
