Smoke on the Water

As I was putting these together trying to think of what to name them, which is not a strong suit of mine, I suddenly started singing Smoke on the Water in my head.

These beads definitely look like Smoke on the Water.

I paired them with some of my Copper Wagon Wheels and a little Czech Glass bead at the top.

Fulcrum Goddess

Kind of a crazy name I know but both names sort of fit and I couldn't choose one over the other. But I hope you think they are beautiful even though they have an identity crisis.

Beautiful Lampwork headpins from Lori Bergmann Design that I snatched up so fast at the NW Society Bead show last weekend. Go HERE to read more about it.

I found these beads on Pinterest and they are my inspiration, they reminded me of the sky so I thought they needed to be combined with the Owls.

Festival

I've been wanting to make some components with lots of holes for lots of bead and wire wrapping, this is one of the first pair and I made one for myself!

 I created the shape and the tribal texture and added lots of holes along the bottom edge!

The beautiful little minty green Chrysophrase heishi worked so well with the copper.

Very Ethnic and Festive, perfect for the upcoming Holiday Season

I love these wonderful dotty Lampwork beads by TwoSistersDesigns on Etsy. I tried to stack the red coral randomly so they don't exactly match and added a touch of turquoise for an unexpected traditional combination of red and turquoise. And it's all wired together with a pair of my Paisly Leaf Headpins.

My Favorite Things

Ammonite and Recycled Glass Earrings

3 of my favorite things, recycled glass, ammonite and copper!

I'm constantly searching Ammonite, always looking for something unusual I need to add to my collection.

This one has been a favorite for a little while, so far I have resisted!

From Laveo Beads!

And in searching for more recycled glass I found these!

From BottleHood Beads!

I can't wait to get some!

And yet another piece I've been coveting for awhile.

This beautiful Copper Panel

From Viktoriia Gallery!

Thank you for joining me, I hope you enjoyed my newest earring creation!
