Oh, they're all green

Thank god Jon is never home and my friends don't invite me anywhere. I have time to create! Yay!

Ok, so these were based (full disclosure) on a design from sundance but instead of pearls, I used turquoise pebbles! I think these turned out super cool! Assuming I can make a matching one tonight, I am SO wearing these tomorrow:

Ok, so they look cooler in person. I need to work on my photography skills, that is clear.

I finished a pair of rain drops. These are still in the prototype phase but have SO much potential.

And I made a new pair of minis. These feature a really cool jasper brown and green jasper bead that I bought in Vermont. They're small. But small doesn't have to mean boring. Right?!

And finally. I 'm not sure if I ever posted these. Another pair that I eventually need to make a match for. These have silver tube beads witih an etched spiral shape surrounding a green swarovski crystal. They are self locking hoops. I made these a while ago, and kind of like them:

Ok, I admit it: I opened the birthday present Samara got me early! She got me a gift certificate to Rio Grande! I nearly started crying - ask Jon. It's been a rough month for finances - I needed new brakes on my Subaru, we unexpectedly had to pay a lot in state taxes, we refinanced the house (again), and well, I've done a little shopping (not much, but a little.. .a new dress, a new handbag, a "few" jewelry supplies), SO I had decided to NOT buy any more supplies or tools ( no kiln, boo hoo) until I actually sell some of my existing inventory. So THANK GOD for birthdays because I was totally jonesing for some Peridot and some more apatite and some sterling silver round beads! YAY!! Happy Dance!
