Where has June gone?

I have been working on the silvered ivory bead with black scrolls and am really happy with the results. The base bead is made with ivory coloured glass rolled in silver foil which gives it that antique earthy look. The 2 at the top are my latest attempts which are the most scrolly whereas the 2 at the bottom, done earlier in the month, are similar but the scroll design is a little looser. Also I was able to bring the silver sheen to the beads which gives a really warm glow to them. One set of the beads at the top of the picture are for a lady who has been very patient I hope! ;-]

Makn' jewelry



Here are 2 necklaces, well 3 actually since the florite one is actually 2 separate pieces that can be worn together. The other is heavy looking but I loved the stones some much I wanted to wear them all at once. It is made of fossil coral.
