Sea Glass Garden

This bracelet is a pattern from theApril/May 2015 Beadwork Magazine, the pattern is by Svetlana Chernitsky.
The pattern uses 15/0, 11/0, O beads, Superduos, 3mm, 4mm crystal bicones(I used Preciosa)and Silky Beads.
It was a little strange working with the Silky beads, because of their shape.
This pattern was very easy to make.

Faux Druzy Earings

I found these at Hobby Lobby, they had a metal feather at the bottom and I didn't like it, I added a Crystal at the bottom(also from Hobby Lobby)  and a ear wire on the top. I had bought two, I went back and got another one and made a pendant.

Pretty Necklaces




I bought these links at JJ Beads store in Huntington Beach, CA. As usual, I bought them some time ago,  and finally I decided that I should do something with them, so now I have four new necklaces.
The clear on on the bottom was a strand of oval Chinese Crystals.
I like how they turned out.
