Leather and Stone Earring Series

New earring designs! These are fun to make and fun to wear! They are so lightweight. I love wearing a bold pair of earrings like this with my hair up. What's your favorite earring style? Do you like big and bold or discreet and petite? Or maybe somewhere in the middle? Do tell!

Rockport Weekend

Rockport Harbor

Me with a goofy look on my face. I wasn't expecting it when Josh snapped the pic!

I finally got these pictures from the weekend off my husband's phone! We met some friends in Rockport, Ma. over the past weekend. It was so fun. Rockport is a picturesque sea port town, with the CUTEST shops and restaurants. The harbor and the view are gorgeous! We didn't spend nearly enough time there. I can't wait to go back!

LeAnn's Dragonfly

Bracelet created with a copper dragonfly charm from Leann of Summers Studio, wire-wrapped turquoise and a strand of suede lace. You can visit Leann's supply shop and blog. Happy Saturday! ;)

Summer Brights Bracelet

I picked up a new color of waxed linen cord at the bead shop, the other day. I saw this charcoal gray color and knew it would go perfect with Keith O'Connor's ceramic beads! I love his beads and ceramic works so well with this bracelet style. These colors just make me so happy!  I'm having too much fun making these waxed linen bracelets! Happy summer beading, everyone! :)

Earring Collection

Fun new earrings! What do you think of these? What kind of style, feeling or mood do these convey to you? Please tell me your thoughts, I'd love to hear! Thanks for looking!

Jewelry with Gaea's Beads

Now that I'm not concentrating on making my own beads, I have more time to make jewelry and I have more time to buy beads from some of my favorite bead artists! Naturally, since I used to make my own clay beads, I have a particular fondness for ceramic!!! One of my favorite ceramic bead artists is Gaea! (That's pronounced like "Gay-uh".) Her name means 'Earth'. It's the name of the Greek goddess of the Earth! Very appropriate, since she does work with the Earth, literally! Here's some jewelry I recently made with Gaea's ceramic beads and components:

 Lotus Bracelet

Magic Bead Pendant Necklace

Sweet Surprise Bracelet

You can find Gaea's ceramic beads and components on her website, www.gaea.cc and you can find Gaea at her blog, www.gaeabeads.blogspot.com
