 I love love love this amber and mineral green combo.  I have made these beads many times and I always have to make some jewelry out of them.

 This time I was aiming for enough big almost focal size beads to make one of these glass and fiber necklaces.

 I actually got carried away and made enough and then some so I still have a few on my work table.

 I couldn't help myself and made a whole series of necklaces and earrings. I made a few bracelets too but you will have to wait for another day to see those.

 I have to try and find some more of these post findings I love them so and have had them in my collection long enough I do not know where they came from.

Okay if you are getting really tired of looking at this lovely coppery goodness this is the last picture for today.  Hope you like them.  If you would however like to see them in person I will be at Stitches Midwest in Schaumburg IL this coming weekend and you can see them there.

Suessology Bracelet

 The customer that bought my first Suessology necklace really wanted a bracelet to go with it.

 I have had the idea of what I wanted to do for a while but not being home I hadn't found the time.

She is a really great customer and knew it was going to take me a while.  After sending her pictures yesterday she says she loves it.  I know I really like how it came out.  It looks like a little sculpture.

Crochet Necklace

 This is the last new necklace for this week as we are headed out for The Tucson Bead Show tomorrow.  It is the first necklace in another new series, this one is called Necklace #1 in the Suessology series.  I just think it is not going to tell me a name other than Necklace #1.  Sometimes that is just the way it works.

These new disc beads make great buttons and I just love the texture.  Anyone that is going to be in Tucson next week please come by the Windmill Inn and say hello.

New Necklace

 Well here is another new piece.  I have been working on the little crochet circles on this one for a while.  I love making them I just hate dealing with the ends. 

 The lampwork beads in this one are big about an inch in diameter so this makes a nice chunky necklace.

I have also gotten a nice pile of necklace boxes all painted and ready for the spring shows. I really like how they cam out and plan on doing some more when we get back from Tucson in another color family.  I need to find a deeper box as well because pieces like "Wilma Steps Out" are too big for this box. 

A new necklace.

Something new.  A very long crocheted rope with some of my fancy new cone beads as the ends.  I just love how this came out as the rope is so soft and supple. I took it to Minneapolis a couple of weeks ago and everyone seemed to like it. 

Of course I had to make a pair of earrings or two to go with it.

I know everyone is trying to get ready for Thanksgiving but I wanted to give everyone a heads up about my SALE.

I was just going to run a one day buy handmade sale on Black Friday but due to my son having a route canal yesterday I have decided to run it for the entire holiday weekend.  So the coupon code is good from now until Sunday at midnight.  The coupon code BUYHANDMADE will get you a 20% discount on your order from my Etsy store.  If you have never used a coupon code on Etsy before you might want to review Etsy's help page on this https://www.etsy.com/help/article/350?ref=help_search_result
