Bumble and Bumble



Warm summer days and lots of bumble bee activity in my gardens these days. This is the basis for inspiration in my studio too! Always a fan of nature but  never a fan of the bees, they have me dodging them and throwing my back out in the process. I want to love them, I really do. But it's a love hate relationship. SO instead, I've used these sweet little polymer bumblebees from Tree Wings Studios. Dangling on bits of delicate brass chain behind some polymer pinwheel flowers, layered with vintage flower buttons.  Easy and lightweight to wear and perfect with any summer outfit. You can find these earrings in my webstore, here.

What's Your Mood?

 Mood Rings were the rage when I was a kid...
I owned a bunch of them and giggled with girlfriends over our Mood colors ~ 
I've been looking at these beads for over a year....they intrigued me..
I finally ordered some and have to say..

THEY ARE SO AWESOME!  

I have so many jewelry ideas to make with these and just can't wait to create! 

My 18 year old daughter is totally in love with the beads and we chatted late into the night 
about creating our own mood color descriptions...
Like wouldn't it be funny to make humorous color meanings about
Menopause, Moms, College, Dieting, Beading or Love?  

And in my searches for mood related items...

If Lucky Brand uses Mood, it must be awesome!

How about Mood tiles.... 


Or Mood iphone cover ~ very cool!


How about nature's take on Mood...the Chameleon ~ 



Hope you had fun with the Mood Ring thing  ~ 
I'm off to create some 
Moody type stuff!
Stop by see!

Busy Bee

Sweet little honeybees in a garden of Czech glass.

They make me feel sunnier just looking at them and so does this:

Flight of the Bumblebee


I thought I'd share a pair of earrings from my book, Jewelry Designs from Nature. 


Although the season for honey bees has passed,  I like this pair for it's earthy autumn color palette. The wire petals with tiny seed beads adds a nice frame for the bee and a fun visual element without adding weight to the design.  See more inspired by nature designs on my blog, http://www.humblebeads.blogspot.com/.
