Roses and Rainforests

Hey there, everyone.I know that you are thinking what the heck the title could be about. Keep reading, you will see. :)

 It has been a little while since I posted, so I decided to show you all another photo of a recent piece that I did. Actually, I'm going to show you two. (Oh My. Right?) These pieces are really simple to put together and really organic looking. Both pieces that I'm going to show you are gemstones. That adds to the organic/nature feel to the jewelry. They are also great because you can make them long or short and they will still make a statement. So, without further ado, here they are.

This piece is all Rose Quartz. Each eye-pin is just connected to the next to make the chain. I really like the simplicity of these pieces. Here is the second one.

This one is Rainforest Jasper. I worked from the silver leaf pendant to make the chain for the necklace. I also added one piece of the jasper at the beginning to emphasize the pendant.

I really like how these pieces turned out. I have made several more items like this and plan to incorporate more of this technique into my jewelry. It is simple to do and gives your jewelry a really great look.

Thanks for checking out this post. Leave me a note if you have any questions or comments.

Charmed, I'm Sure

Hello everyone. I wanted to share another photo of a bracelet that I am really proud of. It is a charm bracelet that I did with vintage brass charms and various shades and styles of pink beads.

Among the charms that I used there are: a dragonfly, bee, heart, locket, key, butterfly, clover, and maybe one or two others.

 This bracelet was really fun to do, I hope that you like it!

Testing

Ok, I thought that I would go ahead and test putting a photo in with the post. It looks easy, but you never know. Technology is a mysterious thing. So, here goes:

This is (hopefully) a photo of a chainmaille bracelet that I did. I used green glass beads to make it more feminine. I love doing chainmaille and learning new weaves. This one is the Byzantine weave. Super simple to do and it really looks great in whatever type of jewelry that you want to do. Hope you like it. I will be posting more of my jewlery and other crafts as I get them photographed.

Hello

Hi, I'm Jess. I have started this blog to chronicle my crafting endeavors. I do many different crafts, but at the moment, I mostly make jewlery and sew. I am starting to quilt too, which I find very exciting. Hopefully, I will be able to figure all of this out and post photos of my progress on the quilt that I have started.
