Use Your Leftovers Earring Challenge Reveal

Earrings Everyday is having their 3rd Annual

It's been months since I have blogged about anything and thought this was a great time to start. I have been wanting to for a few weeks since I lost my job.

I guess I needed to regroup and think about my future and what I really wanted to do.

Anyhow the challenge starts out by taking a photo of you desk after a bead feast...

Here it is...

My desk is not normally this messy. Okay maybe it is, but I would like to think that I do get the chance to clean it when I can. Even Dave my fish sits there waiting for his new tank to enjoy my creative process...

Next we are to get all the leftover in a container, tin or anything else that will hold the goodies. I had my leftover pieces on a towel that I have been using as a bead cloth. Everything else is full. By this time I have still not cleaned anything and just picked through all the piles of gems.

I came out with 4 pairs of earrings.

I had some recycled glass laying around and thought I would just

loosely hang them on the copper wire.

I love how these turned out. I had some fire agate that I have been wanting to use and

paired them with the pearls.

I added the abalone nuggets with the owl charms.

It's funny because I forgot to add ear wires to these and did not

realize it until after I took the photos.

I am not one for birds. I don't know why. I love to bird watch and enjoy hearing them sing. Hummingbirds are my absolute fav. But on jewelry, I just am not into it. But my bestie does, so I made these for her.

And there you have it.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out what I made. Check out the other fabulous earrings here

Have a wonderful day everyone.

AJE Component of the Month Reveal

Every month Art Jewelry Elements chooses readers to play with the

Component of the Month.

I was lucky enough to be chosen.

Linda Landig created these beautiful ceramic flower

components.

Here is what I got.

When I received mine I knew instantly what I wanted to do with

it.

I have been making sun catchers for a few weeks now

and wanted to switch it up a bit.

So instead of a crystal,

I used the component.

Here is how it came out.

And another shot.

Thank you so much for allowing me to play along.

I really had fun.

Here is a list of the other players.

Have a great 4th of July weekend.

8th Bead Soup Blog Party is Here!!

I had to take a break for a bit from my blog because of

life.

But what better way to come back,

than Lori Anderson's

8th Bead Soup Blog Party.

My partner is Mary K McGraw

from

MK Creative Musings

Here is what I made....

I then found some cute cultured sea glass in the soup

and created a pair of earrings.

I had no clue what to do with the starfish beads

until.....

And the last pair of earrings

I still have a huge amount of beads left to play with so I guess

a to "bead" continue is in order.

I want to thank Lori for putting on the blog party &

thank you to Mary K for being my partner.

Now to find the rest of the partiers

2nd Annual Octoberfest Blog Hop 2013

I keep asking myself,

"Just when did October get here?"

It seems like this year just flew right by.

This time of year is always my fav.

Basketball, the world series, football and hockey..

Oh wait that should be saved for another blog. HA!

I love the changing of the colors,

the oranges, reds and yellows just amaze me.

Colder weather means lots of hot cocoa and good books.

Rita of Toltec Jewels, put out a call for her

2nd Annual Octoberfest blog hop,

I had to get in the fun.

Last year I was just a newbie to creating.

and was very afraid to show a piece.

To anyone!

This year I made a bracelet that

represented October to me.

I also made a pair of earrings.

One more bracelet.

All of these pieces are available at my etsy

I want to thank Rita for allowing me to be a part of this years hop.

I always enjoy your hops.

Here is a list of the other participants...

Lots of talent here..

So grab something to drink and Enjoy!!

6th Do Over Challenge

Welcome to my spot in the 6th Do Over Challenge

hosted by Jeannie K Dukik of Jewelry by Jeannie.

20 lucky participants were given pieces that were created by Jeannie

to turn into our own little creations.

I was excited when I got my package in the mail.

This is what Jeannie sent me.

Lots of smokey glass beads and blue swarovski beads.

At first I was soo excited that I had a few ideas of what I wanted to do.

I knew I was not going to do a necklace..

That was a for sure thing. lol

(I just was not confident enough yet.)

So I grabbed some wire mesh beads that are used for the basketball wives

earrings and added a bead cap to each side for stability.

Then layered the blue swarovski crystals.

Here is what I came up with.

I was still a little stumped on what to do with the smokey round glass beads..

And then it hit me.

I made a triple strand bracelet

I had a great time doing this challenge.

Thanks Jeannie for allowing me to participate.

Here are the other blogs that joined in.

And if you would like to sign up for the 7th do over challenge

Have a great weekend.

Bead Ruckus #6 Reveal

Well it is finally here....

The Bead Ruckus #6 Reveal.

My first reveal since joining.

Epic Fail on my part.

With my health issues and other things going on.

I dropped the ball and created a piece for each item

instead of creating one piece using all the supplies.

I now have it embedded in my brain

and will not screw up next time :)

Here is a pic of what I created.

All of my items are up in my etsy.

Here is the link for the reveal....

BEAD RUCKUS REVEAL

Thanks for stopping by.

Have a great week.

Black and White Challenge Reveal

What an extremely busy week this has been.

I was afraid I was not going to get this posted on time,

but guess what??

I did it!

What is this you ask?

Well Sally Russick of The Studio Sublime

put out a call for a Black and White Challenge.

All we have to do is design
a piece of jewelry using the black and white pallet.

I had a few pandora beads that I have been wanting to use for a while,

I wanted to put them into a design

other than a pandora type bracelet.

I glued some bead caps to the ends and then wire wrapped them.

Added a string of white seed beads and then

some silver chain I had.

Here is another shot of it.

I will be putting this up in my etsy soon.

Here is the list of other participants of the challenge

Mischelle Fanucchi You are here

Thanks Sally for a fun challenge.

I really enjoyed this.

Have a great day!
