Amethyst Kiss - Heart Pendant on Beaded Necklace!

Rainy days provide so much time to make new jewelry!!! While I love sunshine, sometimes we just need those damp, grey days to finish projects we started, or check off more things on our to-do list!

One of the things on my to-do list was to create this necklace. I had made a similar one for myself a few weeks back and absolutely love it. I've gotten many compliments and the colors are the 'IN' colors for this spring & summer. I wanted to share the love with all of you in Blogland, but also several of my jewelry fans on Facebook and in Etsy.

So I created this Amethyst Kiss necklace. The pendant is an amethyst heart and is embellished using Blue Moon Lampwork Glass beads, a mix of lavender seed beads and a hint of yellow. It is now listed in my Etsy Store so it's available just in time for Easter to finish your perfect Easter outfit!

Today's another rainy day in WI, so who knows what the Bead Fairy will deliver today! ;) Have a terrific weekend everybody!

Under the Sea Necklace

What is it about sunshine that makes everybody happier? We've had 5 or 6 days with no sun, not one peak. So today when I woke up to blue sky and sunshine, my brain went, "Wow, it's going to be a great day!"

I can finally get some pictures of pieces I've made over the last week and the sun always makes them brighter!


Here's a necklace I made that reminds me of the sea... a tranquil beach vacation, under the warmth of the sun, slowly dipping your toes into the cool ocean water, smelling the salt from the ocean breeze. Ahhh, bliss!!!

The vibrant blue and teal swirls through the glass pendant are highlighted by the shimmering silver foil background. Blue and teal are colors that blend well no matter what the season... from fall sweaters to summer sundresses... this piece hangs beautifully around your neck.

Hope you are able to fully enjoy the sunshine today... I know I will! Have a beautiful day!
