More Flowers in the shop!

So some people have been asking when was I going to add more flower vases with different colors into the shop. Well, I was having trouble locating colors I *really* like (like that yellow. Love it!) so I searched and searched and searched some more until I was pleased! I am sure I'll be getting in some more colors soon as well. Click on the color name to be taken to this item in my shop.
Yellow

Ruby red

Opally turquoise blue (that's a technical term of course)

Orange

What's on Your Mind Heart Pendant

So there was a creative challenge on the Etsy forum to create a piece that you felt defined your shop. And I LOVE an artistic challenge. So I thought on it and at first I was going to be very literal. I was going to make a head with beads in it. I did (eyes, nose, ears etc.) and it looked too cartoony. So then I decided to approach it more abstractly.

The shape is reminiscent of a head but also resembles a heart. The beads are worked into the middle which could signify the brain or the heart's core. I think it fits the bill because it is organic, simple, colorful, classy and of course...shiny! lol. I like to think that is what BeadsInTheBelfry is all about.

The original version of this has been sold. Take heart! heh heh. If you'd like your own, I can recreate it. I've already had to do it once. :)

Bridal Jewelry photos

Here is one of the finished pieces! And I just noticed how well the colors compliment my blog. lol.

I had to do three sets of necklaces and earrings. The bridesmaids will be wearing brown, low cut V-neck dresses. I made the necklace kind of like a faux lariat.

It has a cluster of champagne pearls at the end with one large faceted Czech glass bead. It comes together on a sterling silver chain with a few individual wrapped pearls near the hammered sterling silver circle link. I hammered it. I love hammering. :)

The earrings feature more of the same. I'm really happy with how they turned out! I hope the bride will be too! I love how the whole thing sparkles. Oooo.

I love sparkly things.
