Showing Off My Jewels
So many crafts, so little time and money. Seriously, who has time to do all this? I need to add an extra 5 hours to the day to do all the crafts I dream up, and then I ned to win the lottery to afford them all.
I wanted to show off my new favorite creation. I’ve been making good use out of my jewelry supplies and put together this necklace. The large pendant is lampwork glass in yellow and green, the small round beads are round lampwork glass, and in between are small Czech seed beads. They are all strung together on Tigertail .020″ wire. Originally I bought small, yellow beads to go where the lampwork beads are. Then I saw the round lampwork beads, only two packages left and marked down on clearence. So I grabbed them! I love the way it came together.
Here are close ups of the pendant and beads. Click on the images to see them larger, just excuse the poor photo quality.
I’ve been debating what to do with it. I absolutely love it and think it is gorgeous, but I don’t wear jewelry myself. I’ve been thinking about putting it up on Etsy and seeing if some one wants to buy it. It would make a gorgeous present to give this year, and if I could get $15 for it I could buy even more beading supplies. It’s a vicious cycle, one that I’m not ready to end yet.

Look at you go! Gorgeous work hun. I wish I could do stuff like that but I’d get halfway through a necklace and my ADD would kick in. LMAO

I just love that necklace, I actually have something similar to that and I’m interested to find the stylish men’s necklace.
