I will have to make the bracelet soon. 

Arabian Nights Necklace

Every time I attend the Gem Faire in Costa Mesa California, I find these beautiful Micro Pave CZ pendants, I just love them!!!
When I went in February of this year, I bought this pendant, then I added the cone and some tassel, made with black 3x2 mm Chinese Rondelles and seed beads.
I strung 3x4mm black Rondelles with 6mm freshwater pearls.
It looks very expensive. One of my favorite necklaces.
I bought quite a few pendants, so I will be posting soon about them.

I am sorry you had to see the bracelet on my wrist, it was so easy to photograph.
I wore the bracelet today and I realized that I had not posted this one before.

I got the gold Rondelles at the GemFaire, they are Chinese Crystals.

Janet Pendant

I made this pendant using Puca's pendant.  I also used Puca's beads calles Arcos and Minos.
She has been coming up with fantastic bead shapes.( I want them all, but it takes time for the new beads to arrive to the Unites States)
This pattern I found on this French bead website and you can find the pattern wich is in French, with excellent pictures, HERE
This tutorial is for a component that I used as a pendant, I attached the bead tassel and I used a lobster clasp so I can use different chains or cords. I also inserted a 12mm Crystal rivoli in the middle.
What do you think of this pattern?

Pendant Pia

This was another earring tutorial, I like it better as a pendant, since some of the tutorial for earrings are quite large.
This a pattern by Francesca Piombino,  a beader from Italy. I love watching the jewelry videos it doesn't matter what language as long as I can see the pictures.
You can watch her tutorial on YouTube HERE
I used 14mm Rivoli, white Superduos, 11/0 gold Toho seed beads, Chinese Rondelles and a Crystal Drop.
Have fun watching the videos and making a beaded masterpiece.
Stay tuned, I made another pendant using Francesca's tutorial.

Corona Pendant

As I promised you, here is the Corona Pendant, actually it is a tutorial for earrings, and I liked it better as a pendant, since it is a little to large for earrings for me.
My friend Shirley does not have her ears pierced, so a pendant it is.
The pattern is from YouTube by le Gioie di Carmen, and you can watch the video HERE
In her video she does not have the bead drop, I have been buying the drops at the Gemfaire from a place that sells them 70% off, this one is  Lapis Lazuli.
It matches very well the bracelet from the previous post.

Dizzy Daisy Duo Trio Bracelet

I made this lovely bracelet for my friend Shirley for her birthday last month.
I made this bracelet to match a shirt I sent her.
The pattern for this beauty is from Bronzepony Beaded Jewelry on you YouTube.
You can watch the video HERE
I made two rows instead of three. I made another one with the 3 rows for another friend using the same colors.
Check the video and hopefully you also will make one.
I bought the SuperDuos at Hobby Lobby at 50% off.

 I will in my next post talk about the matching pendant.
Stay tuned!!!

Bead Soup Blog Party, Bead Hoarders Edition

It is finally here!!!!

For this challenge Lori Anderson from Pretty Things paired beader's and we sent each other a focal bead that we were "hoarding" and that were special to us, and we were to make a beaded piece from those beads.
This is a blog hop, so you can visit Lori's Blog to see what all the other bead artists created.
You can see her blog HERE

Thank you so much Lori for making this happen.
I am so glad for this opportunity.

I was paired with Valerie Tilghman from http://artjewelzdimensions.blogspot.com/

The above postcard is from Valerie.

This is what I received from Valerie:

I am so honored by the beads that I received, because they were Valerie's Moms beads.
The fish is so cute and it looks like it made of shell. Such a cute little guy, Valerie also sent me some vintage beads.

This is what I created:

I made a simple strand necklace, I did not want to take away from the beauty of my fishy.
I used 6mm Aquamarine and pink Quartz beads. I also used the shell beads that I received.

This pendant was a bead embroidery and I used cup chain, bicones, and I used the vintage bead that Valerie sent for the center of my pendant,  I also added a ruby drop.

To finish Valerie sent me something else:

Georgia Peach tea, so I am relaxing drinking some peach tea and hopping around to see what everyone else created.
Thank Lori again and thank you Valerie!!

I hope everyone had as much fun as I had.

Happy Hopping!!!
