Laurie

I love making things for people. These I made a while ago for a co-worker. The colors are just her preference and it suits her well. I gave them to her right away, as a birthday treat, and she enjoyed them.
I learned a good lesson too, I should include earring backs with all my little treats. She was walking along last month and lost one of them, luckily she found it, only it was broken. A car smashed it flat. I repaired them for her and good thing I had the extra beads. Many beads I use I have found in odd places and do not have duplicates, so most of what I make is one of a kind.
And I remembered to take a picture of this set so I can record the designs I make. I still have 2 others I made for her that I need to photograph. That's my little mission.

Eugennie

These are made from brown glass beads. They have a trace swirl within to give them a wonderful little sparkle. I bet these would be better with gold, too bad I haven't any gold chain. Something to look forward to in the future.
I have named these after a friend, she was the one asking about my jewelry so here I am making my first set to sell. They look great on her.

Twisted Mable


Another simple silver dangle. Black swirl glass beads and silver. Oh so easy.

Fresh water pearls and silver. How can a girl go wrong?

Yolanda

I bought these square multi-colored foil beads a long time ago. They were so neat but had been difficult to design with, the shape was a problem. I used brass findings and disk beads. I discovered that orange and sea green crystal accented these beads well. Overall they turned out fantastic. I named them after an old school friend, they seem like the type of earring she would wear. And besides I loved that girl, she had the brains, sass and attitude I needed in a friend while forced to be in a HS classroom full of teenage boys. (She and I were 2 of the 4 females in our business class)

Swirled Skye

I love these, they match my favorite blue eyelash scarf. I do not wear them often as the weather has warmed. I made them from glass beads, silver findings and silver accent beads. When I wore these shopping at my favorite bead store the owner admired my work.

Zoe

These earrings are made from brass findings, heart shaped zebra foil glass beads and red glass pony beads.

Mars-y

I think that these red swirled glass beads look a little like Mars. They work well with the silver findings and beads. Super simple, a nice everyday sort of earring. They go well with red and brown.

'Lil Keisha

These earrings are made from brass findings, red and orange glass faceted beads and tan crystal beads. I have named them after a friend, these are a smaller version of the actual pair I made for her. Which reminds me, I need to make a pair of the ones she has so I won't forget the style.

Laura

I adore these earrings. I love how long they are so fun to feel them swing when I move my head. I made them from silver findings and chain. The green foil speckled glass and crystal beads add a good dangle touch.

These earrings are beautiful. I made them in two varities in silver and brass. I used sea green glass, purple faceted glass and crystal beads.
