Elegant Nouveau

I had purchased some bead caps from AD Adornments at a bead show about a month ago and I have been saving them for something really special. I finally found the right time to use one of them. The bead cap was the perfect fit for this antique rhinestone bead I found at an antique shop. I decided to turn up the petals for a little touch of whimsy. You can find this piece in my Artfire shop.


I just wanted to give Lori Anderson of "Pretty Things" a big shout out of gratitude for hosting the Bead Soup Party. I am still hoping around viewing all of the creative works and it has been fun meeting new people. Thanks again Lori for all of your efforts.

Tinker's Whimsy

I have been in a wire wrapping frenzy...I just can't stop! I've been making lots of earrings and getting ready for some fall shows. It has been many years since I have done a Craft Fair. Years ago, too many to count... back in the day...you get the idea; I use to do around 25 shows a year...yes, you read that correctly! I had started a wholesale business and only did a few a year and then I just stopped doing shows. Now I am itching to do shows again so I am starting to prepare some inventory and this week it includes lots of wire wrapped earrings.


Here is a little whimsical pair I made.
I think Tinkerbell would like these...I can see these earrings swaying as she flutters from toadstool to toadstool...so with her little whimsical self in mind I have named these "Tinkers Whimsy".
