My new favorite item
For Beaders and Jewelry makers - My new favorite item is Darice's Deluxe bead organizer carrying cases from Walmart. It's crazy, but walmart has the best bead organizer around! It's a mini brief case shaped tupperware-like container with 52 little bead tight containers inside! It's great! Especially since I was gearing up to spend $90 on something very similar, because it was the best deal around. I bought two today, we'll see if I completely fill them tonight and need to buy another tomorrow ;)

Oh Starry Night
This is a Swarovski and Silver chain necklace. I love working with Swarovski Crystals, they're like holding a handful of stars. I created something similar for myself using leftover blue crystals, and loved it so much that I went out and got dark and light swarovskis, as well as clear crystals, and put them together in an alternating pattern. This way the necklace matches a whole range of blues, so you can wear it with a wider variety of outfits, including Jeans! :)
A little bit Dark
I love working with this gorgeous gunmetal grey color, and Hematite is such a beautiful stone/mineral. The twisted bugle beads used in this necklace add a bit of unexpected sparkle. Happily, this necklace also matches my Hematite Earrings I created a few weeks ago :) If I was still going out dancing at night I'd definitely keep this one for myself. It's a choker, which means that it wouldn't flail around while I dance, and it would really stand out against the skin, even in fairly dark conditions (like a night club). :)

Ancient Spiral
SOLD!
These Spiral rounds immediately attracted me when I first saw them in the bead store. I knew I'd seen the symbol somewhere before, and remember today that it was in Ireland and England, on ancient Megaliths I saw while visiting. I've always loved prehistoric art, and these are great examples of bringing the Past back into the Present.
