Winner of the Earrings - and Pictures

I finally got around to picking the winner for my earring giveaway. I had a co-worker do the picking and she chose Shannon. I hope that she enjoys her new earrings.
Have been busy with the bead making and yard work as usual. Got to see some of the kids and grandkids this last weekend so that was nice. Here are some new pictures.

Bead Crochet Brilliance by Sylvia Kubilus-Elam

I want to share with you a creation by fellow Etsian Sylvia Kubilus-Elam of beadacious1221. She bought one of my "Crocodile Rock" beads and created this stunning beaded necklace. She has an awesome collection of creations in her shop as well.

I will be creating new "Crocodile Rock" beads in the future so if you want a necklace like this you can buy my bead and commission Sylvia to create one for you. I know that she has more of my beads as well so she will probably be listing more soon. Keep checking back.

Here is a link to her blog with more pictures of the necklace... beadacious1221.blogspot.com

Here are a few new items that I listed in my Etsy store this morning. I will write more later about the collaboration project that is listed. Just wanted to write a quick post so I can go to bed. Take care. Hi mom! Pam

Recipe for Success - A Glass Artists Collaboration - Lampwork Glass Necklace

I am a member of the Etsy Glass Artists Street Team and as such I have become involved in a collaboration project with Kristy Kempinger of chickadee beads. We traded beads a couple months ago and combined them with our own creations to create a collaboration item to sell.
Here is what I came up with.

Base of ivory, rolled in raku frit then decorated with raku and turquoise are the ingredients and recipe for the gorgeous focal bead created by Kristy Kempinger of chickadeebeads. Add to this the deep azure blue and turquoise spacer beads and the turquoise and raku nugget dangle created by me and it is a recipe for success.The hammered antiqued brass chain and flower clasp set off the focal and inspire visions of scenic rural flower gardens in bloom and cool flowing waterways. The focal measures 30mm x 45mm and the total length of the necklace is 29 inches. Kristy and I are both members of the Etsy Glass Artists Street Team - and Lampwork Etc Street Team.
