Hooty Hoots

I have always loved these little Czech glass owl beads, so when I finally got some, I took a photo with instagram and it was uploaded to facebook. An old friend of mine, who happens to love owls as well, asked me to make her a whole set with these beads. I really love how they came out and I know they will look fabulous on her!

Inspired by Winter

Sally of A Studio Sublime is hosting a blog hop today! The theme is 'Inspired by Winter' and aims to unfreeze our creative flow by using the colors of winter to inspire a beautiful peace of jewelry!

 

After signing up, I quickly headed over to Design Seeds in search of a winter themed color palette. I found this 'Frosted Holiday' image with a touch of green, brown and lots of pretty greys.

From there, this bracelet seemed to come together on its own. I used four ceramic beads from Splendid Loon studio (two grey, two iridescent brown), one white ceramic bead from Gaea, two green glass crystals, two brown and white lampwork beads (artist unknown, purchased from a local bead shop) and a bali silver bead, each separated with small round sterling silver beads. The owl clasp really pulls all the beads together.

The Owl in a Pine Tree Bracelet is available to purchase in my Etsy shop
