In the Dipped Leaf Tradition...

SOLD!
I love these Dipped Leaves, they just look so delicate, but they're strong and gorgeous.

Queen Titania Necklace

This is a great necklace made up entirely of Sterling Silver and Swarovski Crystals. It's always amazing how much of a difference the best materials make in the final product :)

Storage

Recently I've been looking for a good way to store my beads while keeping them accessible. My solution: a wheeled kitchen island that has a flip up top, much like a sewing table. All my jewelry books fit inside on shelves, as well as All of my beads, tools, and supplies :) Finally, some real order! And I can wheel it off to the side of the room when I'm not using it. It's great :) And since I got it from walmart, it was completely affordable. And I put it together myself, which is always nice :)

Oak Leaf of Strength Necklace

SOLD!

With the smallest of the dipped leaves, this one copper, I made a unisex necklace. I love these real leaves and thought guys should have a chance at them too ;)

Lady of the Lake Labradorite Necklace

This gorgeous necklace is made with Labradorite, a semi-precious gem that reflects green light, much like an opal. :)

A Lick of Frost

SOLD!
I did something a little different with this new necklace. I love the colors and the design. It works great with jeans (several shades of blue), but is elegant enough for an evening gown. That's the kind of jewelry I most like to make. Something that dresses up whatever you're wearing, and compliments a fancy dress. Why have jewelry you can only wear once?

I also went through all my jewelry and added metric measurements last night. That was quite the project. I knew it needed to be done, but a thread on the etsy forums convinced me to make it a priority. I'm definintely a lot better with metric now ;)

Gold Dipped Birch Leaf Necklace

SOLD!
Another gold dipped leaf necklace. These pendants are just so stunning, I couldn't help but use them as soon as I got them. And really, how can you beat a real leaf dipped in gold? It's just awesome :)

Real Aspen Leaf Dipped in Gold

SOLD!
I found these gorgeous leaves at a bead show I went to a few months ago. I bought two gold leaves, and two copper leaves, and now I wish I had bought more! They're absolutely stunning, real leaves that are dried and then dipped in 24k gold. And they're strong! You can see between the veins of the leaves, but you can't bend the leaf at all. They're so pretty...

Back in the Swing of Things

It's been a couple weeks since I made anything for Etsy, so here it is! It's made with Goldstone, a very pretty material that comes in red or dark blue, and is flecked with a million tiny silver specks. :)
