Two new goodies!

A beaded wine stopper, and a charm watch.





The stopper and its beads and the watch face came from Goody Beads, the assorted charms all came from Michaels or AC Moore.

Industrial Chic!

All but two of the charms are from that line. The chain is from Orient Express.



It's so different! It took an hour to assemble.

Cute finishes!

The beaded gift set from Goody Beads:





This was a fun project!

A work in progress, and some "goodys".

Yeah, the misspelling was on purpose- my Goody Beads order arrived today- I only placed it on Tuesday!



Salad server, canape knife, appetizer fork, and the beads to go on them. This will make a nice gift for someone. :)

I caved in and bought some of the new Industrial Chic charms at Michaels yesterday:



These sets are expensive- $5.99 each.

I'm using most of them in this project- this isn't final, I haven't decided if this chain really works.



The pendant is going to be the focal point of a necklace I'm making for my sister. She's been to France, and I thought it would be nice to make a necklace with Paris-themed charms for her. Here I've added an old coin to the pendant:



I'm going to be very, very busy in the coming weeks!

I also picked up a fabulous new book for my beading library- Custom Cool Jewelry.

New necklace!

Most of the charms and the chain are from Pearls and Pumps.



Close up- I glued the cameos/crystal to the bezels.

And more new goodies...

Michaels has a new line- Industrial Chic. It's very interesting...

I like the idea of turning found objects into jewelry! I'll have to pick up a few pieces.

Uh-oh!

Goody Beads. I've never visited the site before, and now I can't stop looking!

I especially like the bead pen kits.

I have a nice coupon to use that doesn't expire for a month...I have some serious shopping to do!
