Melting Sherbet

 I am so Lady Gaga over these beads from Ferrarioriginalbeads on etsy...they remind me of melting sherbet, I can almost taste them! Since they are soft in color I did not want to do anything cutesy or super feminine. I added some etched copper bead caps and some textured chain from AD adornments.

I just listed this in my Etsy shop. 

Have a Little Faith in Me

"...an when your back is up against the wall
just turn around and you will see
I'll be there, I'll be there to catch your fall
So have a little faith in me..."

I wanted to share with you this awesome copper cross that I got from Artbeads.com. When I saw the cross I knew I had to have it. Last night I sat down to my work table and let my hands do the walking and they did not disappoint me. The colors are so cheerful and I love the organic look to this necklace. And yes...how do you like my sweet little bead caps I made?

Hearts Afire

Artbeads.com has declared January as a month of Valentines Day for the blogging community. As part of their blogger program I got to choose some wonderful heart related items to create with.

The Key to Harmony

"Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything." ~ Plato ~

The sun is shinning today and it has warmed up to 40 degrees...could it be the sun that inspired this necklace or the fellow artisans that created a few elements in this piece. The vintage sheet music beads from Tanith's Odds & Ends were the start for this necklace and the awesome robin's egg blue enamel bead from Barbara Lewis helped finish it off. You can find this in my etsy shop.

"Music washes away from the soul
the dust of everyday life."
