Catching Up - Earring Exchange
I'm participating in the fall earring exchange over at Lampwork Etc. Each participant makes between 3 and 5 earrings, and then gets the same number of pairs back. I love unusually shaped ear wires, and am quite pleased with the results of these 5 pairs. I love some of them so much that I'm trying to recreate the beads to get a couple of pairs for myself!

Solar Flare Blog Hop
If you're reading this, I know you're thinking that I haven't posted in a while. Its been a month filled with being out of town and all that entails. But I'm back home and very excited to share new things with you!
I joined the "Solar Flare Blog Hop - the challenge was to create a piece of jewelry around this picture:
I loved the pinky-oranges, and set to work creating a set of lampwork beads in a creamy alabaster glass with plenty of rose and apricot glass swirled in. Add to that a couple of darker lampwork beads for contrast, and some matte gold metal beads, and here's the result:
My favourite bit is the gold leather knot:
