Did you enjoy that beautiful weather today?? And it’s going to be a beautiful Saturday too!
I haven’t had the chance to slow down all week and post on the blog, but here I am now. And yes, it’s 1:00 a.m. If you know me, you’re probably not surprised. I do have a few pretty jewelry trinkets to share to make up for my absence!
I really love the colors in this first necklace. My inspiration was this sweet, heart-shaped porcelain focal by Nancy of Round Rabbit. Come to think of it, this is the second time I’ve used one of her heart pendants for a necklace. Remember this one? The glaze in this pendant was complemented by pearls, smokey quartz, wood and copper beads. I had planned to oxidize this piece once I was finished, but that shiny copper colored wire turned out to be just perfect left the way it is.
I really like this next piece….so much so that you’ll see it soon in another photo here on my blog. 🙂 Vintage, edgy, romantic, wouldn’t you say? I created a coiled bail from stainless steel wire, complete with a large Swarovski cosmic crystal, pearl and chain dangles. I used some great crystal rondelles and antiqued stainless chain that I found on Etsy. There are so many great suppliers on Etsy to turn to when you’re feeling creative!
And speaking of Etsy, I received these ceramic pieces from Summers Studio in the mail today. The beads and pendants were packaged so nice and spiffy! The colors are beautiful….can’t wait to use them in a future creation.
I received another package today….containing something extra special inside. I ordered this sterling crucifix and center medallion to make a rosary for my son’s upcoming First Communion. I have never made a rosary before and can’t wait to make something this important by hand. I’ll be sure to post a picture of the rosary soon once it’s finished.
Have a great weekend & thanks for stopping by!

HI Cindy!
Your necklaces are beautiful! Gotta love Nancy’s work! And looks like you got some really great stuff from LeAnn too! I love LeAnn’s packaging as well. It really makes her ceramic pieces pop!
