Layers Necklace and Earrings

Yes, yes, I can hear you now...this must be a miracle...I'm posting three days in a row!!! *cheesy grin* I'd have more pieces to show you, but my camera battery died on me! arg. So, I only have the following two pieces, called Layers.

Layers Earrings

I haven't even posted the earrings on my website yet because I couldn't finish taking the pictures to show how the earrings hang, so you get a sneak peak here. *grin*

This necklace has swiftly become my most current favorite piece. LOL I've actually been wearing this necklace practically every day since I made it because it goes perfectly with my laid back favorite wardrobe of jeans and polos. *grin*

Dark Galaxies Chainmail and Lampwork Necklace

Nothing states elegance more clearly to me than the painstaking beauty of chainmail. The joy I receive from sitting down and going through the entire process of creating a chainmail piece is almost unparalleled. Ok, chocolate might bring a wee bit more enjoyment *grin* and certainly my family smashes to the top of that list every time. But when it comes down to tasks that I truly delight in accomplishing, it is the coiling of the wire, the slicing of the blade through silver, the hum of the tumbler polishing the newly cut rings, the completeness my hands feel as they come in contact with the pliers, the joy in placing rings in a mathmatical pattern and weaving for hours. *happy sigh* I'm in heaven. Chocolate, of course, is in a sphere all by itself, but, thankfully weaving maille does not add calories, so there are times when maille must take precedence over the delights of savoring chocolate. *cheesy grin*

Anyhoo....LOL....I bring you my newest piece in my Decadence Collection, the Dark Galaxies Necklace. The focal bead is a rectangular square boro bead by an exceedingly talented lampwork artist. A deep, dark chocolate background (HA! I can't stay away from the stuff! *grin*) is a perfect setting for exploding starburts of colors including all colors of the rainbow which is remeniscent of the glorious galaxies which our heavenly Father created. While the pictures make the bead look huge, the bead itself is very delicate...smaller than the tip of my littlest finger.

Dark Galaxies Necklace



I have two other rectangular/cube boro beads that will be showcased on the Jen's Pind chainmail necklace in this same style of the Dark Galaxies and the Waterlilies pieces. I merely need to take the pictures. I will post them soon.

Blue Topaz Double Twist, Grasslands Necklace and more!

Finally, I have a chance to post some of the matching necklaces of the pieces I shared in my last post. I have been feeling very discombobulated lately with a weird cold and cough and just lots of "schtuff" going on that has been taking a lot of time.

Grasslands and Pink Amethyst Earrings

Wow, the last week has been crazy! Not only with a sick daughter, tons of work, lots of neglected housework and laundry (LOL, stiiiillll being neglected, I can tell you that! LOL), but also an internet connection that was spotty at best! ARG!!! The tech finally left about an hour ago and everything is fixed. Woohoo!!!! I've been pretty cranky without internet access! LOL

Anyhoo...I did have a chance to make about a dozen pieces this weekend and here's a tiny teaser to whet your appetite! hee, hee.

Grasslands Earrings

Pink Amethyst Earrings

None of the pieces are even up on my website yet! LOL But, they'll get there within the next day or so. I still need to finish taking artsy-fartsy pictures of the necklaces, but the four pair of earrings are done. Wait you say...you only posted two pairs! Well, *cheesy grin* you're just going to have to check again in a day or two, eh? *grin* All of the pieces feature one or more of some of my components that I sell on my Etsy Gems Store. And, they are all oxidized. I know, I know...I almost NEVER oxidize my pieces. LOL...welll....I LOS'ed all my newest. *grin* It was fun, but messy...and I have a feeling I will be doing a lot more LOSing soon. I specifically wanted to be able to emphasize the details on my new components, and while I love shiny silver the best, some details can only be seen with the LOS.

Let me know what you think! *grin* And more will be posted within the next day or so.
