Spring in Brass

Not a terribly complicated necklace. I found that little brass flower focal at my local bead store, but thought it was too small for the necklace so I added the branch looking thing (that I found at Michaels). The brass chain is also from Michaels. It has little flowers in it.

The peach seed beads match the brass nicely, I think. I also love the color of the Czech flowers near the focal. There are little metal butterflies and flowers throughout the piece as well as peach glass beads and peach fire polished beads.

A close up of the focal. And the chain as well.

Romance in Brass- Bracelet

Here is the one productive thing I did yesterday on my day off (well, that's not true, but I didn't finish the second project...)- A bracelet to match the Romance in Brass necklace and earring set.

Not a terribly complicated design, but I think its very pretty. The pink and brass combination makes me want to giggle. And I love the little rose bead by the dragonfly. Why? Because it's double sided (if spheres even have sides...). If it twists, there is a rose on the opposite side as well. Very cool.

That big pink bead is a little plain but I love the bubble gum color. And how shiny it is. Ooohh... shiny. Lol.

More peach seed beads and a dragonfly to tie into the necklace.

I hope to have time to finish the other project this week sometime. It features glass pearls and purple fire-polished beads. Yummy.

Romance in Brass

My latest piece is an asymmetrical necklace featuring a large brass flower pendant. Dragonflies, flowers, pink glass beads, and peach colored seed beads make it very feminine (so says the designer :P).

Below is a different shot of the whole set. Also, I've taken close-ups of different parts of the necklace.
