Peace by Piece Class

My sweet sister got me a jewelry class I had my eye on for my birthday. This is the 3rd one I have been to at the Colorado Bead Co. Every time it's so much fun and I always learn new techniques!
The class I went to today is called "Peace by Piece"... basically piecing together several techniques to make one beautiful necklace! I think it was very fun (even though it was 3 hours long!) and I loved the necklace that I made!

This first picture is a close up of the 3 strands I mixed...

 This one is a close up of the beading i did on the loops on one part of the chain...
 This one just shows the leather tie we did on one side of the necklace...
 Here's the whole shebang!
Here is one that is a close up of the three strands on the other side connecting in a cone! Super cool!
 Here I am modeling it, as requested by mom! :)


OHHH,... and here are the earrings I made my sister Angela last week - I have so many more ideas now I have to get on it! Going to make her some more like this with specific colors though!

Been slow... but here's a few more...

I have made a few new things... it got so hectic these last few months! Take a look! :)

The top 2 are things I made my mom for her 60th birthday, the bottom 2 are still up for grabs, possibly by myself!





Christmas Gift...





One gift from my Mom that I love is my new Beading Organizer! I think it's meant for other things but it works perfect for me! Check it out!
