Preferred Jewels Part One

Because I'm new to wordpress and will without doubt get the chance to become subjected to other individuals who aren't familiar with might work I thought it'd be considered a great idea to generally share with my new viewers (few though you might be, at this time) a few of my personal favorite functions.I believe my all-time favourite item would need to be my Story of the Seahorse pendant. He's made up of most cool contacts. There's simply no solder work. We produced the body then packed it in with different dimensions of faceted blue apatite, pearls and silver beads. An one blue apatite rondell is covered in a sensitive herringbone for that attention and two light green aventurine briolettes produce the fin. The sequence was hand coiled wavered areas, designed to symbolize waves within the sea, with splashes of vibrant blue apatites between.A different one of my favourite items is this beautiful netted Turquoise Ring. The Hook Lacetechnique was applied by me below on the much smaller-scale than I'd done formerly. We put a single Swarovski feature about the top of the rock and used an extremely fine-gauge of wire for that netting. It has been an extremely popular band and we actually have many on back-order. I'm likely to do several versions with this specific band style, if you enjoy it, watch on your blogorsite. You are able to drop us a contact at Cutom@DeliaStone.com to find out more if youd like one inside your size.Next I do want to discuss my netted bezel ammolite ring along with you. Strangely enough, around I adore this bit I've never called it. Its just too fantastic for words. The ammolite is really incredibly charming and that one displays a number of my personal favorite colours golds, greens and rusty-red-oranges play expensive and over the area. Its taken in a netted bezel of hair-thin 14k gf line having a small emerald-green Tundra amethyst feature about the stitched help. The hold for this pendant is among my personal Wire-Wrapped Toggles.

Crystal Pendant

I made this pendant in yesterdays class: I enjoyed this process, and I could see myself making some other items using this technique and putting a Carla spin on it all. I also got some ideas for future projects while I was in the bead store those go into my journal for future reference. I like to write things down while they are fresh in my mind, that way I will remember them later. I know many of you also do this. Ive always admired Geninnes blog site where she shows her journal calendar pages online. I love her watercolor artwork! In fact, every day I see her work, I have a poppy print hanging in my studio. Guess who went sea glass hunting recently? Check out this post on the Oreneta Aground blog. Oreneta is the name of her sailboat. A few years ago, Oreneta was living in Totonto with her kids, they decided to seize the moment and sail down to the Bahamas for 3 years. The Oreneta has been aground, the family moved to Spain, and life there is interesting. Anyway, I admire any woman who is brave enough to follow her dream! - We leave in a little over a week for Kauai! I guess I had best finish making my reservations, and take DH to get our new snorkeling gear this weekend. I am so ready for time spent beach glass hunting, snorkeling, touring and just relaxing! If I have my way, I will come back with LOTS of beach glass to use in my jewelry art. And, of course, some new sand to add to my collection. Any more advice from you Kauai experts out there?? We are going for the helicopter ride, snorkel trip to Lehau Island, Na Pali Coast boat trip, Tubing through the tunnels, hiking, snorkeling, and lots of other sightseeing. Any restaurant advice?? Ive been reading like mad at TripAdvisor, but it is nice to get info from people you know. Enjoy your day!! Carla You will come back withlots of beach glass. Ill give you directions on how to get there, if I havent already. Im going to the grage to pound silver You are doing some great things with this class!
