Into the Forest 2014 Blog Hop

This Hop is being hosted by Lisa Lodge from: http://gratefulartist.blogspot.com/
Thank you Lisa for allowing me to participate in this hop.
Please visit Lisa's blog to see what the other participants created.
For this hop we had to create jewelry with a "Forest" theme or "Forest at Night" or "Organic" theme.
I used some freshwater pearls and some gemstone chips.

Above are the beads I receive from Lisa.
Lampwork beads by Lisa Anderson(the two in the middle)
Tiger eye cubes
Jasper rounds
Seed beads
Czech glass beads

Below are the two necklaces I made using the beads I received:
  For this necklace I used the Tiger Eyes Cubes, and the some seed beads, I also used freshwater pearls,  tiger eye chips and a tiger eye pendant that I have for over 30 years.



And for this necklace I used the Lampwork beads, the Jasper rounds, the Czech Glass,  the remaining seed beads and Critine chips from my stock.

I have so much fun with these hops.
I hope you can visit Lisa's Blog here: http://gratefulartist.blogspot.com/

    How neat that you were able to incorporate that special tiger eye that you have had for so long, Jasvanti! Your necklaces have an elegance and balance, and beautifully reflect the organic forest theme :)

    Such beautiful necklaces - I bet they'd look great worn together! The colors are organic and earthy, and the tiger's eye gives your design so much depth.

    Gorgeous tiger-eye necklaces! I love that you used a tiger eye focal you have had for 30 years! Awesome, and so is the beautiful necklace you created with it! I also love that you added citrine chips in your second necklace. They look incredible next to the tiger's eye, just perfect & warm. Beautiful jewelry, as always, Jasvanti! :)

    Both necklaces are very pretty. I love Tiger Eye, so the first one draws me more with the Tiger Eye pendant and the cubes. Pretty beads and necklaces.
