This necklace's parts were given to me by a friend, Kat, who was tired of it. I love its symmetry and color combo. Perfect for work or out with the gfs.

Cad 8.7.11
New necklace design. Blue stones, antique bronze filigree center with copper chain.
I love the lapis in this. Its remade from a bracelete I ordered from etsy that fell apart the first moment I put it on. Gotta love upcycled jewels. What I did was laced the lapis around the inner circle of the filigree with crafting line (ok, some people would say it's fishing line), and then strung more onto the blue top circle. I used copper jumprings and a necklace to kinda match the filigree.

CaD 8.6.11
I'm dipping into vintage style and here's my first creation. Its a simple glass bead necklace with tiered sized pale mint beads.
This was easy to compile and create once I knew the difference in beads I wanted.
More vintage/retro style to come!

Yum yum. Feathers are soooooo in right now.
So, here's a Larc pair. I think they're my fav of the lot I have designed recently. I love bead work with the feathers. The bead color really pops.
I have 12 pairs ready for Urban Gypsy. Plus I sold 14 pairs on etsy this week. Whoa. That's a lotta plumage!

Maybe I'll write more late. I'm exhausted. Seester's messenger bag is done, huge and beautiful.

CAD 8.3.11
Inspiration comes from the strangest places:
I saw this pattern on crochetmagazine.com and decided to make my own. Covering rings with yarn=easy and too young looking in this photo. Adding flair, color and beads? That's more like it!
This is 4 chained crocheted strands hung from either side of a busy middle. My friend Linda called it "Wearable Art". That's sweet. The yarn is simply soft in persimmon, the same yarn and color Kelly and I became addicted to after the VEA auction blanket. First, I cover the ring and adjusted the ripple of the chains around it. Then, I crocheted a random 5 petal flower, adhered a petite fleur to the filigree circle, attach 2 jade green glass leaves, and joined everything in antique brass findings with jump rings. Finally, I hung said ART from the 4, now halved, strands and hand sewed a button as the back closure. The button is my favorite part and Ive been looking for a way to use it since it was donated to me by my friend Heather.
Not only do I love the color, but the quad strand on each side is really a nice touch. (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/crochet-necklace-2 is where I got the necklace idea, after I saw none other than my buddy Kelly create a similar necklace.)
