Finally, some new jewelry!

There is an overcast sky today, no showers as of yet, but definitely NO sunshine. You can tell by the photographs, since there is the lack of that "punch" of brightness that usually showcases the Boro glass. But these will have to do for now. I took advantage of the fact that the kids were playing inside today and I held myself hostage in my office! I was not leaving until I completed at least one piece...that's right! No potty breaks, no food, no phone until one piece was done. And guess what? I did 4! Yay! Here is a preview, and they will all be listed over on Etsy once I finish posting here. Did I promise you summertime jewels? Well, I always try to deliver on my promises.

The first is a Sassy Ring bracelet featuring three blue glass bead rings accented by hammered silver rings and a hammered silver clasp. So great with Jeans!

Next, is a bunch of awesome beads made by Catherine Ondrey of Max n Me beads. This is another talented glass artist that I frequently buy from, however, I hoard her beads in my secret stash for my fat self! ha ha Alas, I am sharing this set and I have a couple others that I ordered duplicates of, so I don't feel left out! :) The bracelet took me hours to create! I have strung the beautiful glass beads on heavy duty Beadalon wire due to the weight. I've accented these beads with charms made from Swarovski Crystals in Fuscia, Rose, Light Rose, Fire Opal and Hyacinth. There are silver round beads and also Freshwater Pearls in a beautiful lavender color. It's finished with a floral toggle clasp, and the earrings are made to match making the perfect set!

And finally, there is the unique but so cool glass flip flop! I have strung this on an olive color cotton cord which I wrapped with Swarovski Crystal thread. It's closed with a lobster claw clasp and is definitely summery and will be a lot of fun to wear!

Head on over to Etsy to check them out in their full glory and check back tomorrow, hopefully for more items!
