These earrings are so bright and cheerful you cannot help but smile. They make me think of a flamenco girls puffy, fun, bright, beautiful skirt.
They are made with a large honey nugget ice flake quartz bead (wow that is a mouth full) , followed by a skinny, simple silver hoop which has three adorable, bright and cheerful yellow/red/orange glass flowers hanging from it. Yummy and so much fun!

Koi are very hardy fish, like the carp, coming from Japan. They can live to be over 20 years old and some have been known to be over 100 years old.
In many of the Japanese stories, Koi are transformed through their efforts and perseverance, it is said that if they climb the dragons gate they great become dragons. The Koi is a symbol that represents perseverance in the face of adversity. They can also represents love, longevity, loyalty and knowledge.
I first applied gesso to the canvas to achieve a textured look. Then painted the background a light green, forest green, and bright blue. Finally the silhouette of the koi fish was painted on. The sides are painted a deep black and no framing is necessary - Ready for the wall!!
Finish will be applied at shipping time for protection. Each is signed on the back.

This is a beautiful necklace that has so many different colors captured in the "rocks", that it will go with any outfit.
The jasper beads are even more beautiful up close!
This necklace is made with jasper rounds that are linked individually through wire wrapping each one. The clasp is an incredibly beautiful silver flower toggle that is so gorgeous it could be the centerpiece on its own. The aventurine flower pendant is just incredible and tops off this amazing necklace. Stunning!

I love this necklace and made it while thinking of my daughter, which of course makes it even more special to me. I was never a girl who was into pink until I meet my daughter and she changed all that (among so many other things).
The necklace is strung with swarovski bicone crystals in an incredible deep pink color along with bronze bead spacers, all on bronze beading wire. However the pendant is the pièce de résistance, made with blended pink and beige polymer clay. The main part is a square with a flower shape cut out. It was then stamped with a phrase and flowers, then I baked it. This is the phrase that can be partially seen.
****Some people come into our lives and quietly stay. Others stay for a while, leaving footprints in our hearts and we are never the same.****
I then went over that with gold paint to bring out the saying. It was then sealed to protect the paint. There is a small polymer clay bead in the center that is hanging from a twirling piece of bronze wire. This piece will not just highlight an outfit, it will make your outfit!
