To get today's blog started, I want to announce (brag) that I am the lucky, lucky winner of the Scott David Plumlee DVD. Lori Anderson gave away three of his DVDs yesterday. I can't believe my luck these days....before blogging I would have said I never win anything, my husband would have responded that it was because I never enter anything.....okay, granted that!
If you are very familiar with my work, you already know that I dabble in chainmaille and you will see it crop up in my designs from time to time. I am so excited about taking it to the next level. I already make my own copper jump rings so who knows what's coming down the pike.
Next, I recently posted a Raven Relic necklace - it had the feather.....Well, it was snatched up along with a special order for earrings and the olive green leather bracelet I had listed was chosen to go with it. Here is a picture of the completed set. Since one of the things I get so tired of is designers telling you how much they love their work or how beautiful their work is (yawn) I will let you decide whether the endeavor was a success or not. But, I like it....
Last, the disc necklace and earrings that I put together with Julie Burgard's Outwest disc beads was also snatched up and I also made a bracelet to go along with it. I had to take the original necklace apart to use a couple of the discs, and I had to add a few other beads to fill it out, but here is the finished set.
Similar to other things I've made, but I added chain on the bracelet to adjust the length. It's amazing what you can do when you have the findings that you need.
And, I used the last fantastic handmade lampwork nugget shaped teardrop that Lynda Cogbill made for me in this simple charm necklace. While it is simple, it is substantial. I made the copper bail, the turquoise is genuine and the petoskey stone comes all the way from Michigan compliments of KMMenagerie.
And, these carved turquoise leaf earrings. I attempted to shape some feathers for the earrings on the feather set, but they looked more like leaves so voila la -- these earrings were born.
I hope you enjoy today's post.
