My mom and sister liked their necklaces like this so much I made another. This one has a couple shades of blue and silver accents in it. I have matching earrings ready also but need some more supply. I love it!
I'm also thinking about selling some of my jewelry. Where is the best place to start?

Lots of earrings!
I only had a few supplies left to make earrings (i've been making a lot!) and had a lot of requests for more... So, I used up the last 7 hooks I had and made a variety of colors and stuff. My mom mentioned she liked the silver hoop earring style I had been making my sister, so I made a few of those for her to pick from. She also mentioned she would like earrings to match the long purple necklace I had made her before, so I actually had 2 small beads left from that bead set, and made her some matching earrings that I hope she likes. The rest are up for grabs! :) There is navy, fuschia, amethyst, and powder blue beads in case the colors dont look right. Time to move on to bracelets...

Lots of new things...
I made a new style of necklace up top with some black shimmery silver colored beads I had. I linked it between chain links and I think I like this style more than my last post. If my mom likes it better, I am thinking about re-doing hers to look like the top one. I also made (2nd from top) earrings to match with leftover beads.
I also just made a couple random easy pairs of earrings. The brown ones match my mom's necklace from my last post (sorry it's so blurry) and the ones on the bottom are my favorite! They have a greenish colored stone with crystal looking square beads on top - turned out great! I am having dinner with my mom and going to let her pick a couple things... but I'm sure whatever she doesn't like, my sister will! Again, I need to make myself some stuff! :)

Mulan Beads
I bought a set of beads that my sister and I thought would be something my mom would love. Well, I'm not sure I like what I made this time, though. I wanted to try something different for her than just the normal strung beaded necklace. It's not bad, but i'm not sure it's her style! Oh well, wanted to try it out so here it is! Guess the beauty of it is that I can always change it up and re-do it whenever I want! :)

Green & Brown Bracelet
I tried out another style I wanted to test. This one is like a charm bracelet, really - but it has stones/gems instead. I had a lot of green and brown beads so I just used a mixture of those colors to try it. I really liked the way it ended up!

Multi Strand Multi Color
Obviously I'm still bored, haha. I made this necklace also - just to try out a style I had thought about making in my head. I had a lot of the blues and purples and I didnt know how many beads it would take, so I just went with these colors to test it out. I actually really like how it ended up! I love the layers and the length, and the colors! I have a couple outfits it will look great with. It has a silver chain and then 3 layers of random beading! :)
Earring Crazy
I was bored and was looking through my earring idea folder I made on my laptop. I saw one pair (the one with the silver hoops!) that Angela had sent me. I thought it looked simple and cute! If she isn't sick of those kind of earrings I might offer them to her :) I saw another style I wanted to try too (the black colored beads) - those took a little longer since the tools I have aren't quite delicate enough to do them exactly how I wanted, but I put a black bead, a silver disk, and a silvery/black shattered glass looking bead on it to tie them all together. They could be dressy or casual. I really like them! Definitely going to try to get some better tools and play around with that style some more, too! Both of these were really lightweight, too - always a plus!

Teal Beads
I tried making a triple strand beaded necklace - it turned out pretty and I like the colors, but I don't LOVE it. It's not long, its actually a shorter necklace. Not sure what to do with it!

Pretty in Pink!
Angela liked the necklace I made my mom so much, I made her one of her VERY OWN! :) I used a light mauve-ish pink bead that shimmered just like the one I had used for my mom's on this one. And I know Angela liked the earrings I had made her before so I made her more in a new color to match! I sure love my sis! I think we have a lot of common jewelry taste, too! Now onto making myself something!
Just Peachy!
Here is a necklace made from beads and supplies hand picked by my very own mother. It's rather simple to make, but it was fun to also try a new style of jewelry I haven't done yet. I want to do another one like this and try to get more beads intertwined. Maybe this week! Anyway, I think she'll like it a lot... I might need to make her some matching earrings, too! :)
