' withOrwithOut '

I finally have a name for this necklace.

It's the withOrwithOut.

If you wear it as one piece it measures 29 to 32" long depending on the actual necklace.

It has a removable bracelet connected to it.

If you take the bracelet off you can wear it as a matching bracelet.

The necklace becomes a shorter necklace.

If you don't want the key/cross (whatever is dangling off the bottom) on it, it also has a clip to remove it.

So you see? you can wear it 'withOrwithOut'.

This necklace is about 29 inches long with a detachable bracelet.

By detaching the bracelet the necklace becomes 21 inches long.

The cross is also removable.

All together a pretty versatile piece of jewelry!

oh boy...

So my friend Tandra wants me to put a picture of the 'Wicked' earrings I made for her on my blog, the problem is every time a little branch broke off the end turned into 'killer cutting the skin' earrings! She told me someone gave her a hug at her husbands 50th B~Day party and almost cut through her jugular vain!!

Scary!! just in time for Halloween...

This is a necklace and a silly little pumpkin bead. I couldn't find the earring picture.

I have 3 only children

Psalm 147:3
He heals the broken hearted and binds their wounds...

... So we packed up our daughter, Madison and dropped her off at college this past Monday. Even as I try to write this I can hardly keep myself from falling apart. My husband drove the truck with our youngest daughter, Paige.

Madi and I followed behind in her car.

We chatted and had some laughs, when we arrived in the parking lot by my daughter's dorm we were laughing about something silly and I said "I have to be silly, otherwise I'd be crying"

It got kind of quite.

We spent the day together, went to dinner then sat in on a opening message which was incredible. We walked Madi to a 'meet and greet' said our goodbyes and we all broke down.

We cried all the way home.

So much of the jewelry I create comes from something I'm going through, have gone through or a lesson I've learned. It's how I express myself, like many people do through their art.

I've noticed a lot of the women who've commented on my blog are into stamping, making cards and scrap booking. All of it is SO beautiful, I've been checking you guys out and I admire the beauty, work and expression you put into your art. I'm in awe of the things you women create!

Thanks for the encouragement you've given to me.

One of my favorites!

I {heart} hearts!

I make these glass bead hearts using Italian and German glass rods and my torch. I melt fine sterling silver into each bead while the glass is molten.

Each heart is unique and individually formed by hand.

These heart beads are available on a custom made leather cord 16-18" in length, with a sterling silver hook and chain closure, with a cute little dingle bead on the end!!

Bead hearts on leather cord are available for $25.00 each, plus shipping.
