Blue Lagoon and Olive Garden...

Ok, did you ever do something that was such a pain in the butt, but you kept up with it because you knew the finished product would be amazing?? That's what I am saying about this Blue Lagoon necklace. It took me FOREVER to finish! But I think it was so worth it... just look at it! Oh my! A beautiful Glass focal made by Juln, a fellow Etsy seller. The depth in this bead is incredible. You can't tell by the pictures, but believe me, it's a masterpiece! I have accented it with Swarovski Cosmic Rings in Bermuda Blue (can you tell I'm really into these rings lately??) Love them. I added Swarovski Crystals in Olivine and Indicolite, and silver balls. It's finished with a beautiful silver toggle. I made a simple but matching pair of earrings as to not take away from this stunning necklace.

The Olive Garden piece, I just love this one. A beautiful Curved bead made by Melissa Rediger that has little crystals right in it, accented by Bali twist spacers, pewter Rose balls, and swarovski crystals in Olivine and Smoky Quartz. *sigh* I wish I could keep all my jewelry! Better snatch them up or I just MIGHT!

Back to my office to create while it's still light out. I'll get these up on Etsy tonight. Maybe I'll have enough time to get one more picture up today!! Stay tuned!
