It's been a hectic week of jewelry creation. I was inspired to make jewelry after attending Thread last weekend, a fashion and shopping event. I was hoping to buy accessories for presents, but I didn't see any designs that were perfect, (nor prices that were perfect) so I figured I'd make my own.

When buying beads, it's cheaper to buy in bulk. So, I didn't get just one Black Gold Amazonite rectangular bead as seen above, but a strand of 10 or so. Same with bird and leaf charms. So why not sell to friends? The featured Cirrus Circus was a big hit.

Parting with artwork, even when it is made in multiples, is difficult for me. Thus I took lots of photos. Hopefully the recipients will appreciate the stones and aesthetics as much as I! So far it seems that people do.
