BR23 - $10

I've had the design for this piece in my mind for the longest time but I've only just made it a reality. Don't ask my why I waited so long... perhaps because it was such a complete design that I pushed it to the back of my mind while I ...

Similar to ER80 but with black faceted cat's eye and rainbow Czech glass elongated drops.

Amber Glass Earrings

Just tried the brick stitch technique to make these earrings. Since I haven't figured out how to keep the glass bead to stay flat with the beadwork, I think I'll use round or oval beads for the center next time.

http://ambrosianbeads.blogspot.com/2008/05/amber-glass-earrings.html

ER78 - $6

A whimsical piece that was inspired by the sand dollar, a fish related to sea urchins and sea stars. It's enhanced by blue Czech glass teardrops and turquoise Swarovski crystals.
