More Cheekytrends Lampwork Beads


Before going away on vacation I made this necklace with these gorgeous Peruvian opals (bought in Seattle with my dear jewellery friends, Rabbit and Meresea) and lampwork beads from my friend, Cheekytrends. After coming back from vacation, I decided I would separate the necklace from the lampworks and make a bracelet to go with the necklace, so if you choose, you may extend the necklace by adding the bracelet in. I make my clasps that, IMO, are stylish enough to wear as part of the necklace to add dimension.

Inner Strength Earrings and Pendant

Before my great Europe vacation, I made a pendant "Inner strength". After I came back, my sister came to visit me from Toronto and wanted the pendant made into earrings. I decided, that this would be a really groovy look and made earrings a bit smaller than the pendant. I must warn that when wearing the earrings, since the two hoops are not soldered to the figure 8 that they do jingle around. I made two pairs that my sister and Mom now both have!!!




Been Away on Vacation

Signage in Switzerland is so cool. I took lots of pictures of very old establishments signs.


Long time no blogging. We went to Switzerland, Portugal and then England for 3 weeks.

Switzerland was great and relaxing, but kind of like Vancouver weather, rain. Portugal was too hot, but so cool. And England, was perfect in temperature. Kind of reminded me of Goldilocks and 3 bears.
