Fun with animal prints!

I just made this necklace for a friend. I had leftover animal print glass beads from another project, and mixed them with crystals and charms from Jolee's Jewels.



I hope animal prints don't go out of style any time soon! I love making stuff like this.

Black Friday fun.

Michaels had a sale and good coupons- so I picked up some charms.

I also bought some clear glass balls, and filled a couple with beads:

More charms!

Another charm necklace:

These are easy to do. I love charms! I keep finding good new ones.

Also, I've started using the glass hearts I picked up earlier in the year- here's a simple bracelet strung on elastic cord:

Cheap and quick.

Cute little kit from Michaels. Only 2 bucks! And it only took about ten minutes to assemble. It has blinking lights.

So very charming!

This took me about an hour to do. Most of the charms are from Blue Moon's new line, Madame Delphine's. The flowers are from Plaid, and the pendant, Eiffel Tower, and crown are a Michael's brand. The metals are slightly different, but I think the charms all work together.



Close up- I just couldn't resist the tower charm!

New projects, new charms!

This necklace was made from charms, ribbon, and findings from Petals a Plenty from Plaid.



Mom picked these beads. She loves animal prints, and wanted a necklace to match one of her animal outfits.



All from Blue Moon!

Blue Moon has a new line of beads and charms. I picked these up today:




I'm going to have fun with these!

Haven't been beading much...

Finished this one a couple of weeks ago. I may change it. The chain and little black "gems" are from Black Lace, the hearts are part of the big batch from Fire Mountain Gems. I added black Swarvoski crystals.



I think I'll do a bit of beading tonight.
