BIRTH OF VENUS

Here is my entry for the April ABS challenge. Hooray for Erin of Every Heart Crafts for making these great leaves and having a terrific sale on them at the perfect time! I used some stick pearls I really like and finally figured out what to do with some great sea glass i've picked off the coast of Maine over the years. I tried my hand again at making the pendant and a bead with polymer clay and overall i'm pretty happy with it. It has a peaceful feeling to me.

HOMAGE

This bracelet is my humble attempt to pay respect to my blog friends and true bead artisans I have met!! Doreen, Gaea, and Sue, and to so may others . Your work is truly amazing! Available on ETSY!

MORE GIVEAWAYS!

Lora Hart of Lora Hart Jewels is giving this beautiful necklace of her's away on her blog. Check it out for the details. Who wouldn't love this? I loooooove silver and her silver is great!

THE BIRDS AND THE BEADS

This is how it all came together with Doreen's fabulous beads and a pendant by Jennifer Stumpf, and a link inspired by Kristen. To be on etsy later tonight!

AMELIA

Being a Gemini means that i can change my mind a lot, and i do!
I constantly go back and forth between
contemporary and old, the past few days i was feeling nostalgic i guess. I think because Easter is close and i think of my family. Above all, family and health are precious to me. This is named Amelia for my grandmother, whom i only remember by photos, but i live in the house that she lived in and i feel her with me all the time!

THE THREE AMIGOS (kinda!)

These are our three dogs, actually, the jack russell is mine, his name is Ike, the miniature long haired dachsund is my daughter's, his name is Iggy, and the boston terrier is my parents, his name is Duke. I live next to my parents so they all share the same yard. Ike is old and is almost blind, he doesn't like to be bothered, and he is my buddy!! Iggy bothers him a lot...so he just tolerates it and growls a lot! Iggy is the sweetest and most lovable dog ever BUT he is BIG BIG trouble, he is only 2. Duke is just goofy and pretty much likes everybody and is very good friends with Iggy! This is what i have to contend with, but i do love them and they always make the day exciting!!
