A new necklace!

Here is the newest addition to my collection of necklaces! It's made out of black and purple beads and the diamond shaped beads are amethyst.

Much news!

Hello again! It has been a little while since my last post but I have an excuse for it...I've been really busy and when I do have the time to post, I've been lazy haha. So a few things have happened since I last posted and here they are!

~I got a pretty good sized shipment of beads in. They were from a website I had never tried out before but I took a risk and they were great! The beads are beautiful and exactly what I needed. They came really fast too! Shipping wasn't too bad and in my opinion was worth it.

~I also got in a hefty amount of earring hooks. This means I have been working on some new earrings but right now I'm mainly just getting a feel for how different things look. I'll probably have more done soon and then I can put some pics up. I had some of the current ones but they are really blurry so I'm hoping to take better ones.

~I now have a few pewter pendants and black cord necklaces thanks to Dolly and Susan (You guys are amazing and do too much for me). They are perfect for the charms I already have and the necklaces that are awaiting pendants. They are awesome!

~I am working on a new necklace that contains some real amethyst beads in it. I am really starting to like it. It's all black and purple. I'm not sure if it will have a pendant or not but we shall see! (pics to come!)

~I picked up a jar of polished stones from the flea market and decided to try my hand at wrapping them with wire to make them into pendants. I tried out one last night and was really surprised at how it turned out. I actually like it a lot for a first try. I will definitely be doing more! Below is a picture of the rose quartz that I wrapped...what do you think?
