More earrings

 These are a few pair of earrings I made last night.  The one above is for my friend Sharon at work.  She bought a bunch of beads cause she wanted me to make things for her.  I just love these oval beads!  And she loves long earrings, so I made her those and the ones below.

 This pair matches the necklace I made for her a couple weeks ago.

 And I made this pair for me.  I love the bottom bead, it's some type of gemstone.  I just love the colors.  I now have to find a shirt to wear with them.  LOL

Close up view of tree skirt

While going through some stuff today I found iridescent sequins and beads. I thought that would be a great accent to put in between the holly leaves. That way they wouldn't take away from the holly accents. So here's a close up of the beading. I've done about 1/3 of the skirt. I think I'll do more while I'm watching Grey's tonight. It looks kinda neat so far. :)

Purple pearl bracelet

I spent a couple of hours today with a friend of mine that I met through the store. She wanted to learn how to bead, so I we had a simple beading class today. Just the two of us, it was really fun beading with someone and not by myself.

I made this bracelet from the purple/maroony colored pearls that she had, and I added some fire-polished beads and these really pretty pearl colored beads. It turned out pretty nice. I'm keeping this one! LOL

We're going to try to meet a few times a month to bead. It's nice cause she's just over the bridge from me.

These are some beaded decorations I made for Valentine's day. They came out pretty cool! It is so fun working with the beads and wire. Think I have to make some smaller versions for earrings or something.
