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:
