LEANN'S LARIAT

Ok, Ok, I really was starting to feel like I had to jazz things up with the photos, between Lorelei and Cristi(and her rocks!, which I love!), I was starting to feel like Plain Jane.... so.....some new photos for a new piece! I call this LeAnn's lariat! Haven't decided if I want to sell it, keep it, or submit it!
It will talk to me I'm sure!

KASHMIR

I'm not much of a seed beader these days, but I fell in love with these; Leopard Skin Satin ! They looked lush, and reminded me of richness and warmth. Combined with the topaz briolette and the hill tribe and tiger eye beads, I felt it spoke to me (YES SUE, THEY SPEAK!!) . I felt like I found this in a far eastern country left from ruins long ago. Yes, this is how my creative crazy mind thinks sometimes, but I'm usually happy with the results! Does anyone else imagine as they create?

This is a new bracelet design I hope to put on etsy on the weekend, I'm running out of time and have to get to work, and all I want to do is make jewelry!! I'm having fun with wire again and longing for summer weather and summer colors!

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.
