A Plainer Kokeshi Doll Pendant

I bought these glue in bails and end caps and decided to give them a try. While I like the pearls and dangles on other ones, this one is really simple. It’s a lot easier to put together too.

Bead Stick Pendant

This is one of the same cored and capped beads that I showed in a previous post. I made it up into a bead stick pendant.

It’s mostly copper with copper ball chain and sterling silver bead caps. I might have to make a few more of these.

Angel Necklace

I know, the picture isn’t very good. I really have to practice my photography skills. Still, I wanted to show this angel necklace that I just finished. It’s an asymmetrical necklace.

Collaborative Jewelry

My friend was asked to make an all etched clear and sterling silver necklace and earrings by a buyer. It’s tough making beads all one color, especially clear. I made the flower beads, she made the rest of the beads and designed the pieces. The buyer wanted lots of dangles.

This is the pendant. The flower looks great cored with silver bead caps. There are tons of dangles too!!

This is one of the earrings. It’s not as big as in the picture. I love all the Lifesaver bead dangles.

Little Pendants

I made a few pendants out of some of the glass cabs I made. I was going to use them for a bracelet but these are so cute I want to make more. Now I wish I made a better assortment of cabs so I’d have more of a variety. It will take me a while before I can “borrow” someone’s flat lap grinder to grind more cabs down.

Sorry about the crappy picture. I just can’t seem to take very good pictures when things are too shiny.

Another Necklace

I had some leftover beads that I made and they all kind of matched up. I quickly threw this piece together. I made all the murrini used in it.

Candy Jack Swap

I finally got enough murrini made for the Candy Jack swap that I signed up for. Here’s the Candy Jack beads I made for it.


Not anything complex as these were the first ones I’ve ever made. Or at least ones that were usable. I had to trash a few that I made. It’s a whole different way to work with colors.

After making the simple bullseye canes, I decided to try something a little more complex so I made a heart cane. It’s still pretty basic but I’m trying.

Yep, It’s Another Candy Jack Necklace….

Yes, I made another one. I think this will the last one for a while. I need to start making other things for the fall craft shows. I’m so behind schedule this year. Guess I’ve been spending too much time making Candy Jack necklaces.

I have to admit when I took the picture, I noticed a crack in the middle dangle so I’m going to have to remake that one.  Dud. I thought this one turned out pretty good too.
