Busy Bee Bee Indeed

Good morning my little creative/inspiring/colorful minds!

It's the Holiday Season with Turkey Day just around the corner! The lack of updates are a result of work, attending concerts here and there, painting my garage, family dinners, basketball leagues, customizing some pieces of jewelry for friends, wedding planning, and figuring out what the heck to make for Thanksgiving next week. Yes. They are all excuses, and for that, I apologize.

Here's what I've been working on:



This was made for one of my friend's friend's birthday (did that make sense?). He wanted something classic and simple. I decided to do a simple glass lavender pearl and dark purple seed bead necklace, with all components consisting of sterling silver.



Loved the color in these greenish multi colored glass beads. Was able to find the right color in the freshwater pearls that I had and created a more Fall type looking earring.


Will be working on another necklace that a friend has asked me to create... "a casual necklace, that can be worn every day, yet bring a little pizazz to their life"... hmm... we'll see what I can come up with.


Also, my sister's wedding is approaching fast and I still have yet to design earrings to match my bridesmaid dress... pool is a beautiful color, yet do I make the earrings with multiple beads (crystals, pearls, whites), or do I create a single, simple earring with just the pool color type of bead? Will post pictures soon.

Have a great day and remember:
"An essential aspect of creativity is not being afraid to fail."

Hope for Japan

Sorry for the lack of updates, in addition to my regular job, I have been trying to put some new pieces together here and there. Have just finished a design for my "Hope for Japan" necklace. Here's a sneak peek ;)

The "HOPE" message ring is sterling silver and measures at 22mm. The coral bead (used to ward off evil spirits and soothe fears and tension) hangs in the middle of the ring, with a sterling silver heart head pin. The chain is also sterling silver.

A portion of the proceeds will go to the Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Relief Fund through American Red Cross.


AND, since it's Spring Time.... (but what is up with this weather?!)

I created a little leaf neckalce ("Eve Necklace" I just thought of the Adam and Eve leaf, and couldn't name it the "Adam Necklace" so decided to go with Eve :P) with sterling silver chain, green czech fire polished glass beads and a green leaf charm (unfortunately, the lighting was bad that day and the necklace is a brighter green).

The pewter antique silver plated leaf charm measures 13 x 12 mm.


I will be posting these necklaces to my Etsy website when I figure out the exact measurements so keep an eye out on Beady Babe Jewelry
.


Thanks for visiting!
