Simple is sometimes best...

I love doing these simple pendant-on-cord necklaces. They've been popular with family and friends- I've already sold two, and more people want them!

I'm not doing this for profit or anything- I already have one business and have no desire to start another! This is just for fun, and if people want to buy my stuff, that's just icing on the cake.

The latest batch:

I want to keep this one for myself...but if anyone buys it, I'll just buy myself another pendant at A.C. Moore.



I like the colors of this "doughnut":





My mom loves this one:



I used leather cord...but my next batch will be done on ribbon.

A variation...

...of a necklace I did earlier. Same pendant, new accent beads. This one is for a co-worker of my mom's!

Camera is acting funny...

...but here are pictures of two new projects.

For my mom, because she picked out the pendant herself:




And this one, for a friend. I got paid for this one. :D The picture isn't great, but the necklace is really pretty.



One of Mom's coworkers just asked me to make a necklace for her, too. Maybe I should start buying my beads wholesale.

This one is mine:



All beads were from Blue Moon except for the middle pendant. That came from Plaid. Funny, I always thought they were known best for rubber stamps!

Starry Night!

I made this set a couple of weeks ago. I'm not totally happy with it, so I might re-string it later.

All beads were from Blue Moon.




A close-up:



A friend from choir liked my mom's necklace (from the last post) so much that she wants me to make one for her to buy. :D That's pretty cool, considering that I'm an amateur!

A quick and easy necklace!

The beads and cord all came from Blue Moon beads. It only took me 20 minutes to finish!

I picked up a new book to add to my beading library: Simply Beautiful Beaded Jewelry. I now have nine or ten books to look through when I need inspiration!
