Tree of life pendant with seed beads

For a swap I made a tree of life pendant this is only my second attempt at these. I make it much smaller then the first one. it is about the size of a nickle I like the first one better.

beaded circlet

This is a 4 ft long necklace that is really designed to be a circlet. First you wrap it back on it's self then you fasten it. It does also work as a necklace and a bracelet too. I used glass pearls with black glass large seed beads, and small silver seed beads , and Alexanderite (green stone).

Blue Monks Stone, Also know as; gold stone

 

I was able to locate some odd shaped beads of Blue Monks stone. I thought they were cool in there strange shapes. I assembled them into some semblance of a pendant and strung them with some cristal beads that had a peacock mirror treatment on them. My Daughter thought that with it being so dark that the seed beads should be very bright and colorful and I think it was perfect.

Triple moon Pendent

I couldn't find a triple moon pendant and when I did they were sold out on back order and wouldn't sell me the display model. Lucky for me in that same store I found Moon stone beads that were half circle discs and a moon stone bead so I made the triple moon out of then and strung them with more moon stone and some full moon medal beads I bought else were. I then made a bracelet and I bought a moon stone ring also to make it a set. I really like it and thought about keeping it. I am not sure if I can reproduce it because I don't know that I can get more of all the different types of moonstone so it is one of a kind. all it needed was earrings too bad I didn't have more moon stone to do that but that might have been over kill.

Apple Tree of Life

 Here you get to see a rough draft and a finished project. I had never made a tree of life pendant before and so I tried it and it didn't come out nice so I cut it all apart and tried again with a different way of starting You can see the original that inspired this,

Pendant

I love this color Blue. I wrapped this in Brass wire and made an S hook for it is hang from a necklace chain or ribon.

Dragon Fairy Dust

I really loved this Necklace. if it had wings it would be perfect.
It has glitter, it has Dragons, it has a bell, and a mix of metals. All things I love.
I made the fobs and jump rings (S Hooks)that it hags from too.

Scabble Tile pendant

I made this for a swap. It is a water color on Water color paper, Mounted on a Scrabble tile then wrapped with Brass wire. The wire wrapping was the hardest that and preventing the writing from running. I decoupaged the whole thing to water prof it.

key swap 2

I had help with this one. I took a key from Home Depo and wrapped Lamp worked beads I make on brass colored wire then Amber made the necklace by macrame and used another lamp worked bead as the clasp. It is also cool looking and I like it enough to wear. oh and the necklace is a paper that is suppose to be water proof.

Key swap

I bought a ready made pendant in the craft section of Wal-Mart then took it apart I kept the Key and rose added  Bells and beads in blue and A pewter heart cog that I made. I like it I think I like it enough that I would wear it. BTW I really hope my partner for this swap doesn't check my blog because She hasn't received this yet.

Necklace with childrens names on it for a swap

A bartered deal to add to the swap and to put the necklace in

A mommy necklace for my swap partner. with a little angle because all her boys are her angels.
and as often is the case I didn't have to leave the house for supplies.

These are stitch markers I made for a swap I got the bottle caps for free from the old fashion soda store at the Mall I put holes in the caps with an Awl and glued buttons to the inside. The buttons I got a year and a half ago 24 for 99 cents. plus shipping. I broke the shanks off the buttons first. I wanted to fill the caps with resin but they seem so heavy when they are. And heavy stitch counters didn't seem like a good plan, so I Just left them as is. I may make more of them as charms but with the resin for Christmas.

Steam Punk pewter casting

I was inspired by Genus Girl web comic to do this steam punk metal casting. The coin looking piece was made when I was warming the mold but I liked it so much I am keeping it and drilling out the hole for a bale.

Nature necklace

Angel Necklace and earings.

I made a couple of sets like this the one set that had Blue Chezck glass was also the one I use real fresh water pearls with that one went to my Grand Mother in Law. The rest were done with the Purple Chezck glass and Glass pearls. But they were cute both ways.
