Gemstone and Metal Blog Hop




Welcome to my Gemstone and Metal Blog Hop Reveal!

I have been trying to stay out of my element with my designs for these block hops. I have been trying to change it up from my typical routine and create different projects. this time i have created a necklace, bracelet and earrings. there are 2 pairs of earrings. Thank you Kathleen for the 2nd pair. Kathleen and I spent time looking at our beads and creating together at our local bead store Sweet Beads here in Las Vegas.

Here are the pieces i had to work with from my kit i purchased:




Here is the necklace I created


Here is the Bracelet:

Finally here are the Earrings: ( Mine are on the Right, Kathleens are on the Left) thank you Kathleen :)

Kathleen and I had a great time creating together. I look forward to creating with Kathleen again too for our next blog hops. It seems there is a lot of inspiration in the room when we are creating :)

Please visit the rest of the blogs too. and thank you Lisa for organizing all these hops!!

  12. OOOoooOOO Love the turquoise with the red aventurine.... it really gives the gem some pop. I think what i learned is that RA is not "interesting" enough to stand on it's own. it needs something to make it pop and you did a smashing job with it!

  15. I would have been stumped with those beads. They are just far too yellow for me but when you added the turquoise, it brightened it all up and turned it into a gorgeous set.

  16. I love how you used blue to work with the red aventurine. It is the perfect compliment and really makes the stones pop. It is great that you and Kathleen got to work together, how fun!
