These will be chokers on black cord, like the pearl ones I do.
Some dalmation fun!

New earring hangers.

Bracelets Galore

I have a thing for bacelets LOL!!! This top one still needs a clasp, I am looking for something special. The beads are amazing they are 14mm Czech fire polished beads and are clear with a swirl of red, every 3rd or 4th bead has an AB coating and the huge daisy beads look great... this one is a keeper I think
Some pink crackle nuggets with antique pink Czech rondelles..... just gorgeous!

Having a pink day I think.

I love the look of these champagne coloured Czech beads.

Ring Ring, Bling Bling

I made this ring from a Toho Kit. It is beautiful but the seedies are teeny.... wont be making many of these and it might be the end of my seed beading too (sorry margie and chez) they just are not my thing!!!! I have one more in black to make and that will be my lot.
