mmmkay...

Thursday was Errands from Hell Day. Traffic was insane, people were insane, things I needed were out of stock, etc. Blech, not much of anything fun or creative accomplished on Thursday.

Friday was better creativity wise. I managed to get two necklaces completed and a handful of little party girl tags and a birthday card made.

The first necklace:

I actually made something else for the recipient of this necklace and decided after the fact that I should make a necklace instead. It's an unwritten law that most birthday gifts from me are going to be late...most of the time I'm just a little late, but sometimes, as in this case, I'm a few months late. This necklace is made with Serpentine beads, Miyuki glass, copper and sterling. It's the first bezel setting I've done in close to ten years. I seem to remember having problems with bezel setting in my classes way back when. Surprisingly, this attempt went very smoothly.

The second necklace:



This necklace is also a birthday present, only a not so overdue one. This one will hopefully only be a few days late. I wire wrapped a couple of my lampwork beads along with some Unakite beads and strung the necklace with Miyuki glass and more Unakite beads.

Some of the party girls:





More to come...
