Circles, Balls and Coils

I just love Aslancrafts polymer clay beads, Hande does a wonderful job of combining unusual colors; colors I would never think about putting together. Here is a bracelet I made using some of her polymer clay beads. 

 I also used some pottery beads from PotteryGirl and a lampwork bead from BeingBeads. The sweet little charm is from AD Adornments. 

 You can find Circles, Balls and Coils in my Etsy shop.

A little something sweet...

It has been a busy few days and I am finally starting to feel better. I have been dying to get into my studio to play with my new lovelies that I purchased at the bead show on Sunday, however I only managed about an hour today.
Weddings have been on my mind since we are making plans to attend a wedding next month in Massachusetts, so out of that thought came these Pink Wedding Sterling Earrings. I just may have to wear them myself!

Check out the giveaway I am hosting this week.~ A lucky reader will win a $60 CSN gift certificate to be used at any of their 200 websites. You can enter HERE.

Today got the best of me....I had to turn my AC on! As a native New England-er I am still not use to having to turn the AC on in April, of course the weather could all change tomorrow., but no matter how cold it gets that heat is NOT going back on!

So with the warm spring day in mind this is what my hands had to create today. I wanted something current with a vintage flair. Lots of chunky glass and pearls with some rhinestone bling.

You can find Spring Bling in my Etsy shop.

A touch of bling....

I have been asked by Artbeads.com to join their blogging program, I accepted this great challenge and look forward to creating with their wonderful products. I was so excited to receive my first delivery of products, and look how nicely they were packaged!

Artbeads has declared August and September
as the months of Swarovski crystal.They
have over 5,000 different items from
Swarovski including beads, pendants,
rhinestones, buttons, chain and more.
In other words, everything you need to
create the most dazzling jewelry!

When I chose these gorgeous ruby briolette's I knew I wanted to make earrings out of them. The color is so rich and the crystals just sparkle! I haphazardly wrapped the briolettes in sterling to give them a urban feel. I also used a link of sterling silver cuplink crystal chain for some added bling, sterling ear wires were then added. I oxidized all the sterling then buffed up some of the edges for an aged look.

You can find these in my Judith B. Designs Etsy shop.

Many thanks to ArtBeads.com for this great opportunity...I look forward to creating with the rest of my gifts.
