2018 Beadfest loot

Been away so long I hardly knew the place. Gee, it's good to be back home....

 

So, I found this draft when I logged in to blogger to delete spam comments. Thought I might as well post the pics.

These ceramic pendants were purchased in 2019 at Beadfest (remember Beadfest?) from Jenny Davies-Reazor.

I remember getting this pendant with the dragon because I was bingeing Game of Thrones at the time.

Paired it with some Czech glass and cat's eye bead's. All the bead caps and chain are Vintaj.

 

 

I couldn't pass up this one with the gorgeous key.  Also with Czech glass and Vintaj.

 

While I'd like to say that "I'm baaaaaack", I don't want to get ahead of myself. But I'd like to post more often. We shall see. No pressure.

 If you happen to see this post, thanks for stopping by!!

tree inspired

Autumn is my favorite time of the year. It might be because I loved trick-or-treating as a kid (all that free candy!). Or it could be because my birthday is in October. But I really think it's just because the leaves are so pretty when they change colors. I like the crisper temperatures at night. Beautiful fall sunsets and full moons. Hot tea or wine by the chimenea.

Here's some Tree Inspired jewelry...

This necklace is not very Autumnal. It's more of a Spring feel. The bird's nest focal is from Andrew Thorton (from the Green Girl booth at Beadfest 2019!). I attached it to a Vintaj floral stamping, and added the green glass leaves and little pink Czech spacers.

This next necklace also began with a pendant made by Andrew Thorton. I used more, but different, Czech leaves in fall colors. little pine cone-looking beads at the center, and a tiny acorn dangling on one side.

Simple fall-inspired earring, using copper leaves form Vintaj and small pinecone charms. Petite, but sweet!

I picked up this pendant on sale at AC Moore a couple years ago. I used some leafy chain and added some Czech glass leaves (different than previous leaves used - they make such a wonderful variety of bead shapes in the Czech Republic!) Fall-inspired, in reds and coral.

I made these head pins, just fooling around to see if I could make 2 that matched!
