Yes, it has been entirely too long since I posted any pictures - especially craft-related pics - so here you go...
This is a necklace made with semi-precious stones and copper accents. It matches the bracelet I made several weeks ago.
The bead store had these fabulous glass heart pendants that I strung with onyx bead and sterling silver accents.
I took a bead knotting class (it's a technique where you string the pearls on a silk cord and make a knot between each bead) and here are a couple pieces I made with fresh water pearls, Swarovski crystals and sterling silver accents (I'm turning into such a bead snob - you knew it would happen!).
This last piece is my absolute favorite! It is a multi-strand necklace of fresh water pearls, Swarovski crystals and sterling silver accents (can you tell these are my beads of choice right now?). I did not use the bead knotting technique on this necklace, but just strung them on SoftFlex wire.
