Aquamarine

So, I mentioned earlier that I won a prize from EK Success for National Craft Month. And that it is AWESOME! By the way, if you haven't taken the chance to go to the EK Success website and sign up for a contest or something, you should! Anyway, this is what I made with the aquamarine Swarovski crystal beads! I made it to wear on Easter. Of course I then had to go and purchase something to match (found at Khol's for $8--cute short sleeved turtle neck sweater). Anyway, I hope this inspires you to create today! Happy crafting!!!

All That Glitters is Gold

I used to dislike gold jewelry. But then I discovered how beautiful it is with brown and white and cream. So, here are some samples of jewelry with just a hint of gold and a lot of gold! I hope it inspires you to create something different today! Happy crafting!
