Back to basics.

 I had to make a few sets of basic dot beads, and I made them in some of the basic basic colors that I

love to work with over and over. This type and color of beads to me just seem classic.

A new crochet, glass.......

 .........mixed jewelry set.  I love these big beads ( the front ones are about an inch or maybe a little bigger around) mixed with the crochet circles.

 I think it is the smooth look of the glass with the soft fiber of the circles that intrigues me. I just had to make another collection.

 This time I used ivory with silvered ivory dots and turquoise circles.  I thought they all needed to be on the copper findings. 

 This pendant just called out to have it's picture taken twice..........

.........and of course I made earrings.

Another batch of etched beads

 I have been working just not getting time to take pictures most days.  This is a very long strand of Etched amber and turquoise beads.  I put them all together to take a big picture but really think you can see them better when they are broken down into sets.

 I am going to list one set on Etsy this afternoon but then I have to restring the other sets to take to my next few shows.

 We leave for Stitches Midwest in Chicago the first week of August and then in September I am doing a couple of trunk shows.

I will be in WI and IL the later part of September so check back and I will tell you more about the trunk shows and the fabulous shops that are having the trunk shows.
