Necklaces

I sometimes joke with my father that I have adult ADHD. I have a difficult time focusing on one thing for a very long time. I am either doing crazy quilting, or beading, or jewelry. Tomorrow it may be cuffs or altered art. There is always so much rattling around in my head I often don't know which way to turn first. This week it was necklaces for my craft shows. Here are a few pictures of some of the necklaces. I really enjoy these dangling charm style necklaces. They were fairly easy to make. The most difficult part was collecting all the charms and miscellaneous other items. Here are some of the silver necklaces:

 

Here are a few of the gold ones:

And lastly the copper. I think I like the copper ones the best:

They are about 36" long and fun to wear cuz they jingle when you move. I have made about 12 of them all together and will be selling them for $45.00 each.

Here are a few more samples of earrings that I created from my Vintaj purchases. The only pair that does not have Vintaj findings are the bell shaped flower earrings. I purchased those findings at Michaels Crafts store.

Here is just a quick post of some jewelry I made this morning. I ordered some brass items from Vintaj to make some jewelry to sell. I really like what what was sent. I ordered lots of brass leaves, butterflies, ferns, etc. Great stuff and I just couldn't wait to dive in.

Also found this beutiful Luna moth on the porch yesterday morning. His wings were wet from the morning dew so he couldn't fly. About two hours later he was gone so he must of dried off and flew away (hopefully).

Today I am going to share some of my jewelry making skills. I love to make my own jewelry and here are just a few of some of my pieces. My absolute favorite pair of earring are the filigree bell shaped earrings. The bell shaped filigree pieces were purchased from Micheals craft store. And the beads used were purchased on my vacation out to CA last Nov in a little bead store in Eureka, CA. This pair of earrings always remind me of my wonderful vacation out west. I had such a wonderful time out there I am planning to move out there probably next year.

 The leaves on the other pair of earrings were also purchased at that store. Some of the other beads were purchased at a local bead store that went out of business last summer. She had all of her items at 70 % off so I bought lots. It was like Christmas.

I want to start selling some of my jewelry at the local flea market but I just don't have quite a large enough supply of them built up yet. But I am working on it. Hope you enjoy the pieces. Have a wonderfully creative week.
