Rock That Jewelry!!

These were a couple pieces commissioned for a couple of musicians.  "D" is a funky bass player and "J" is his girlfriend who is also a fabulous singer.  The neck candy is for "D" and the wraparound leather bracelet (below) is for "J"  Both pieces are created with my handmade clay beads, and soft durable leather.  I think they rock!

Gifts

The guitar pick necklaces are popular and have been ordered for the young rock and roll stars and for their music teachers. I love them and I have worn them as well when feeling edgy and funky! Some of the beads are from Cuba hand made by locals and the clay beads are handmade by me. The beautiful bracelets above are gifts to Bridesmaids and Maid of Honour for an upcoming wedding in July, from the Bride. Congratulations Renee!

Guitar Hero..... Necklace?

My hubby Mark is a guitar player extraordinaire and plays in a classic rock band here in town. When he asked me to come up with something he could wear around his neck that was cool and not to showy the first thing I came up with was this little number using one of his guitar pics and some tribal beads on a black cord ---he loved it . Now his little groupies ( yes he has them!) will have something else to drool over!! lol! Anyway.... I made this back in March before we left for our trip to Toronto and decided to bring one to our friend and fellow guitar player Blaine, as a token of friendship and thank you for his hospitality . He seemed delighted to receive it and I hope he wears it for all his groupies too! I love playing around with different ideas and this was super fun to do. Wonder what I'll come up with next?

Pretty And Funky...

love. love. love. love.

This is the necklace that Michaela will be wearing to accent her prom dress.
glass pendant touch of colour in the beads, pure fun
I love this one. The crystal is from an antique chandelier
so romantic......
With the recent announcement from my lovely, and often forgetful daughter, that she is going to her boyfriends graduation in 3 weeks..... I decided I better start creating some jewelry for other last minute grad dates. We found the most beautiful flattering dress ( and shoes) for Michaela at a new little boutique in town Suzannes Boutique all within 30 mins of finding out she was going! Power shopping at it's best! Anyhoo....I then realized she needed a pretty little necklace to go with it and thus all of these pretties came from it. Sometimes a stressful situation can turn into a good thing! I just hope she gives me more notice next time !!

Fund Raising For My Toronto Trip! :)

n


I'm 2 weeks behind in my art journal but I had to get caught up with the jewelry making and replenish the rack downtown. My hubby and I are going to Toronto for the Easter weekend and I am sooooo excited! We are staying with some friends and will be having a lot of laughs, food and drinks! So before I go I thought I'd do some "fund raising" and make more necklaces ! Need some cashola for shopping! Anyway here are a few more for you and hopefully when I return on Tuesday I can concentrate on my prompts for the journal so I don't get another week behind! Happy Easter everyone!

Spring Bling 2010

I just love March Break! I spent the afternoon yesterday listening to some classic rock and creating some cool new necklaces for Ella Lynns ( a very cool ladies wear store in our city) I really enjoyed playing with my beads again and came up with some awesome new chunky chokers and long \ medium necklaces on silver, gold and leather. Blues are very popular this summer in the fashion world so I did a few more blues than I had originally planned and glad I did. They are very pretty and will look awesome with almost anything you wear this summer.

Well I'm happy to say that the wheels are turning, beads are arriving and I have more designs spinning in this head of mine so stayed tuned my lovelies!

Homemade Clay Beads

What to do on a snowy day? Go for a walk with favourite dog? check. Paint in my art journal? check. Complete custom jewelry orders? check. Make a few dozen clay beads? check. Of course I did make sure all my chores were done , kids were picked up from work, sick hubby was cared for all that "not so fun " stuff..... The beads turned out great and I cannot wait to use them ! The clay that I've been using for years is one that I can manipulate well with my hands and then just pop in the oven for 15 mins. It's just that easy.

Custom Orders For Spring

Back to beading ! The orders are still coming in (( Thank you very much everyone)) and it is nice to be able to do some beading and painting . I like to mix it up you know...keep it exciting! Anyway , just a short entry while I'm waiting for my coffee to brew! Happy Saturday everyone!

Pretty Little Necklaces.....

Start the New Year off with some pretty little necklaces ! These beauties are just the right length and come in many colours. Custom orders will be taken for a more personal touch as with all my pieces.

Seeing Double

I love wearing more than one piece together and often mix and match my necklaces for an unexpected look. I am so glad I do this because it has caught on and my sales are doubling because of it! Thanks everyone! Michelle....these 2 are for you, I hope you love them as much as I do.
