Another great order...

I blogged about the website: www.firemountaingems.com

This is my 2nd order, and while I'm still learning the difference between seeing it online/catalog or in person, I just got the most incredible Swarovski crystal beads!! I'm so excited to make some stunning and elegant earrings!

Here are just a few previews of the new beads before I make them into some great baubbles!

 Here's my new catalog... This company is great, and $5 FedEx shipping!

 Amazing broquet style Swarovski crystal

 Beautiful blue teardrop shaped Swarovski crystal

 These lucite beads are going to make a kick-a** pair of earrings!

I am so inspired by these new beads, I can't wait to do some earring creating this evening! Next post will be awesome new earrings :-)

A trip to my favorite place...

I love going to the local shop "Ornamentea". They have such unique and distinctive beading supplies and baubbles. Here are a few fun things I've made since my most recent visit. (You can check out their website at www.ornamentea.com)

 These gold hoops are amazing with a pink/salmon 

colored shell in a leaf shape

 Same as above, different view.

 "Dancing Sparrows" - Gold filigree birds with 

Czech glass beads and 14k gold earring hooks 

In honor of today's Super Bowl game,

Go Steelers! (These lucite beads are so fun!)

More goodies to come soon!

Another new pair!

I love these gold filigree leafs with glass beads. 

They looks so elegant dressed up, or casual with jeans!

Newest Jewels!

It arrived! Finally, after 6 days of waiting, my delivery from Fire Mountain Gems arrived. I was so inspired by my new sparkling gems, I made these new earrings!

 Beautiful Blue with gold fleck moonstone

 Handmade ceramic bead with silver and glass

 Awesome bone carved "Goddess" earrings

 I love the earring hoop this amazing ceramic bead hangs from
