Chains of Love

CHAINS OF LOVE

Ok so heres some of projects I have been working on lately...

Now that Im on a roll here are a few pieces that are inspired by our new International Collection. The red and green pieces really complement each other.

The Winter Blue tree was made with swarovski elements and 16/26 gauge wire. My mother showed me how to create this gorgeous pendant and I plan on making several more in different colors - crystal copper - as well as one I would like to call the forbidden apple. Here are some more sample pictures of earrings I have been creating.
As well as the winter blue necklace - inspired by needing that "something blue" on a special day.

Thistle Beads Update

We're going to be doing a craft show very soon and I also plan to get some pictures up on the website by tomorrow. The Craft Show will be in October/Novemeber but once I get more information I will blog more about when and where. Lately I have been inspired by one piece I like to call Autumn Rose. Its a gorgeous necklace with antique copper crystals and a rose connector piece. Pictures will be up soon!
