Sunday Update

 I know I promised you an update yesterday, but I just didn't have the time, so I'm bringing it all to you today....
First up is a new bead embroidered bracelet which I created to trade with a friend of mine who does knitting. She made me the most gorgeous scarf in the brightest purple colors and this is her bracelet for all her hard work.

Okay, the next thing is technically my Margie and Me challenge piece, but I am in love with it. I just finished it yesterday, and now I want to wear it everywhere.
I've wanted to create a brooch for a while, but I like things that multi-task, so it's also a pendant.

As a pendant it hangs vertically....

but, if you remove the cord, you can pin it on vertically or....
...horizontally. I love options, and Rusty Autumn Brooch Pendant is in my shop. I really like this design, and I can see more of these coming.

I also listed some new bobby pins. These are called Aqua Blue Stars...
 and I also put my Bird's Egg Bobby Pins in the shop.


I also put Heather's Ring in the shop. I've been wearing it all week to test it for durability and just plain gorgeousness, and she's held up nicely.
 I also added one of my long-chain medallion necklace that I'm calling Golden Fall. It's just a tad smaller than...


my Mosaic Turquoise Medallion necklace which has been in the shop for a while, but I updated the length of the chain to give it a more modern feel.


Last two things...it's time to vote on the Etsy Beadweaver's challenge for the month, and if you haven't, you need to read this, it will make you smile. It made me very proud to be American.

  1. These color combinations are so gorgeous. I love the mosaic turquoise medallion's contrast between blue-green and rusty orange. Also, on the Margie Challenge piece, that row of tiny golden beads really sets off the center stone in a very subtle way.

  2. Ohhh so much beady eye candy! I love everything! I especially love Golden Fall and the turquoise medallion.

    I love your Margie & Me piece too. That picasso jasper is gorgeous - such rich colours.

    I am nearly finished my piece. I just have to stitch the edging and then attach a bail and it's done. I have to say I am pretty happy with the final result. I would never have used these colours together but they have come together quite nicely... I guess that is what this challenge is all about!
