For the Love of Glass ♥

Oh were these ever a challenge!!
I couldn't have done it without the help of Pati Walton and Terry Turner, ♥♥♥

The head pins in all these designs are made by Pati Walton.  She is a local Colorado artist which I have had the pleasure of meeting more than once.  She sells at local bead shows and I always go mad-crazy at her booth.  I will make it a point to see her again this April and she's also attending the annual Tucson show if you happen to be in the area.

The beads above the head pins are by the amazing Terry Turner of Silverfish Designs.  The thing I love the most about Terry's beads is there's lots of color to them, so there's no fail finding something to use them with.

I don't have a favorite to choose from, I find them all most amazing in their own way.  All I can tell you is these two artists make creating so much more fun, their beads are truly art and I really have a hard time giving any of them up, ♥

Re-Cycle, Up-Cycle....It's all Good!!!

I must say that creating jewelry is a lot more fun when you can add interesting elements to the mix. Up-cycling, re-cycling, re-vamping....what ever you want to call it, I love doing it!! Like putting a puzzle together; mixing the old with the new to create quite the attraction. I have my favorite local consignment stores I hit about every week or so and always find something with potential.

These little pretties show off Austrian crystal flower sections from a retired Sorrelli necklace with stunning Artisan lamp-work by the extremely talented Terry Turner of Silverfish Designs.  I love her beads!!!

I think they're pretty drop dead gorgeous and even though they've already sold, I still have the rest of the necklace to make other pieces with, ☺

So next time your looking through your old jewelry or inherited pieces from family members that you don't wear, give it some new energy, you never know what you might end up with. 









Thanks for stopping by and I hope I did my job and brought your some inspiration ♥
