Erin's wedding

 The wedding was great. Erin was beautiful. The girls loved the jewelry. Yay!

Finally!!

Beautiful necklaces (and earrings, as a peace offering for cutting it so close!) are now in their pretty bags ready to be given to three bridesmaids. Whew! This is the longest a project has ever taken me! I feel like I had to fight for every ounce of inspiration that went into these pieces! But I'm pleased now. I just hope Erin's pleased, too. I took pictures planning to put them up today, but realized I should share Erin's jewelry till after her wedding. So tomorrow night I'll share what I finally came up with.

Looking for inspiration

Inspiration? Anyone have any to share?

Well, it took trips to three bead stores, and several hours of looking at my stash and putting random things together, but I have a little inspiration now. I have 5 days till the wedding, so this better work! Maybe I'll have something to share with you tomorrow.

Jewelry Block

Is there such a thing as jewelry block? You know, like writer's block? Well, if there is, I've got it. :) I'm making necklaces for a friend's wedding in a couple of weeks. (I know, I'm cutting it short!) Anyway. I'm working on finding inspiration. Blue. Wedding. Traditional. Creative. Blue. Hmmmmm...... Something to inspire me:

 I'll show you what I come up with. :)

Such a great picture by the wedding photographer.

I think they turned out great! And Diane loved them. And that's the point, of course!

Wedding Jewelry

I just finished a set of necklaces for my friend's wedding. I keep forgetting to take pictures of custom pieces, though, so you'll have to wait for pictures till after the wedding on Saturday. But, good news, you get to see them as they were designed to be seen, on beautiful women wearing beautiful dresses at a beautiful wedding. I can't wait to see them, too!

Purple Bliss

One of my favorite bracelets. Just to get you started.

And yes, it's sold. I should make another one, if I like it so much, you say? Well, creating new pieces is what I like to do. Duplication is just not very interesting. Sorry. (or not.)
