Fall is Starting to Influence My Jewelry Making.

It's that time of year when I want to start wearing sweaters and warm colored jewelry.  You all who know me, know that I am a warm sun and beach girl but I do like a bit of fall weather too - just don't want it to go into winter is all. 

Several of these pieces are already sold but I plan to make more soon.  I'm trying to build up my inventory for two events coming up this fall. 

 This is a new bangle style I'm working on.  This particular bracelet turned out a bit too large so I will re-size it.  I am pretty happy with this look.

 One of my standard viking bracelets done with the fall colors.

And a more traditional style bracelet - this one is sold:

Matching necklace - is also sold:

 Matching earrings - sold:

Most of the beads in these pieces are made with Vetrofond Odd colors.  I love the earthy tones and colors I can get out of them especially by striking them to different colors within the batch.  Of course there is some CIM in these too.  Commando of course http://www.creationismessy.com/color.aspx?id=59, some Mermaid http://www.creationismessy.com/color.aspx?id=75, Army Men http://www.creationismessy.com/color.aspx?id=95 and a little olive http://www.creationismessy.com/color.aspx?id=58 - what would a finished piece of mine be with out a little Messy Color?

I also made a bunch of focal beads and here is a sneak preview:

Boy were these fun to make - I was up till 11 p.m. and didn't want to stop.  Can't wait to make more of these.  They are those pattern beads that I just love to make!!!!

I've taken most of the photos I need of these beads but am still in the editing process - one of my favorite things to do - NOT - because I'd rather be making more beads instead!  But as soon as I get them all done they will be posted here and then to my artfire account.

I've been asked several times recently where I sell my jewelry and beads, or where to follow me so here is all the information and I'll try and remember to use it as a signature for each blog post now.
