From out of the darkness

With it being completely dark by 5 o'clock now, I'm having difficulty finding a chance to take photos in the natural light. Today's shot was also effected by laziness ;)   Trust me though, these earrings are cuuute!

A belated gift

Last year for Christmas, I received a Visa gift card from one of my aunts and uncles. I had been saving it for something special; a treat for myself. When I was cleaning out my wallet the other day, I noticed the card stuck in one of the pockets and decided that I should probably use it already! So, I logged onto limabeads.com and got myself some gorgeous new beads! I got a few gemstone strands, including Russian Amazonite. The color is incredible in these stones! I also treated myself to some great art beads, something that I rarely spring for. Below are pictures of the cute owl bead and fantastic green pendant made by Gaea Handmade.

 

Sparkle and shine

There was just something that I loved about this crystal covered bead, and wanted to keep the design simple to show it off.
Happy Wednesday :)

What I made

This time of year I am just swamped with shows and what not, so I can only give you a quick post today! Here is an 'upcycled' necklace I made last night. I'm still exploring the two-toned thing, as you can see :)
Happy November everyone!
