Medieval Spring

Medieval Spring

I had an idea some time ago for a beadcap made of two strips of metal, riveted together. Here is my thought experiment made reality! I couldn't figure out how to fasten them together (while avoiding soldering) until I discovered tube rivets. I love the medieval feel they have. I chose hollow lampwork globes by Alisha White in a taupey-mauve to debut my little medieval caps, and combined them with pearls and Czech glass in a fresh peridot green. Springy!

I picture them with a drapey gown, vaguely medieval (with a touch of 1930s Hollywood glam):

You can see more at my Etsy shop HERE. I hope to be making a few more earrings in this style with the rest of my Alisha White hollow globes!

Crazy Love

I picked up this strand of Crazy Lace Agate on impulse--I love the random mauves, lilacs and cinnamons in it. I had to combine it with copper! It's accented with little glass beads in violet.

I picture something classic and feminine with this:

I'm taking a short break, but you can see more in my Etsy shop in a couple weeks!

Magical Mauve

Magical Mookaite!

When I saw these amazing and unusual Mookaite Dew Drops I snatched them up as fast as I could.

I just recently started making these rings and I think they make a perfect combination.

I can see them with this pretty frilly top below,

how about a nice old fashioned head of cascading ringlets with these earrings peaking out from behind

I know that's a little girl but the color and style was so perfect for what I wanted!

Then there is this Fab Mauve Purse.
