Sweet Dreams!

I love freshwater pearls and I love my friend Gillian's gorgeous beads! The combination of the two with copper added, is spectacular!

Chocolate Rose Pink

I am still playing with pearls and vintage lucite beads. I am really loving them both!

Funky carved lucite flowers in a soft rose peachy pink, with chocolate brown pearls, faceted Czech glass beads and copper. So pretty!

Earthy Elegance

I am not a feminine kind of girl... it reflects in my jewelry. As I age I am more attracted to pretty than I used to be. I am an earthy natural kind of girl. The beads I choose to work with, mostly reflect this earthiness. I am also still playing with photography, I suppose I always will be.

I fought the urge to buy vintage Lucite for ages, as it is plastic, goes against my grain, but wow, they are such pretty beads. Lightweight as well.

I love these gorgeous Lucite beads with the rich creamy chocolate brown pearls. They are stunning in their own earthy elegant way!

My First Private Alchemy!

I received my first private alchemy request a few weeks ago on Etsy. I will admit, it overwhelmed me at first, just the thought of it. It seemed to make a custom order more complicated, with the Alchemy process. It isn't really, I just had to do one to realize it. It was fun and my pleasure to work with this wonderful customer to make this lovely, well actually, gorgeous necklace and earrings. The pearls are fabulous! I will be mailing it out to her tomorrow!

Indigo Chocolate

I have always loved blue and brown together. I was so excited to find these blue coin pearls, but equally excited to find chocolate brown pearls. I had to search for them a few weeks ago, as someone requested a chocolate brown pearl necklace as a custom order. I am still waiting for some copper beads to arrive in the mail before I can work on the necklace. It will be my first private request through Alchemy. I am excited for this challenge.
