Jewelry Exchange!
I mentioned a week ago or so, that my friend Gaea was hosting a jewelry exchange! Well, the fun has begun and I received the " First installment" from Gaea today. So, the idea is, Gaea started by putting together a few elements to a necklace design. Going in the order that comments were left on the post, I'm second. I add elements to the design and pass it on. I believe there are 8 lovely ladies on the list. It's a free for all, so anything goes. You can rearrange, or just add on. I chose to rearrange. Here's the before and after. 
I've added an antique skeleton key below Pandora's box, purple buri beads, an Orange Bell Lamp work glass bead in a chocolate brown, Vintaj Brass discs, and a Green Girl Studios pewter Strength connector. I've also changed over from Copper wire, to Brass wire! I can't wait to see what happens when Joelle gets it next!! I'll post a link when she's done!

And also, Yesterday I signed up to take a Website Design class over at Pratt this summer. Twice a week for 5 weeks, I will learn the fun of HTML, Dreamweaver, Flash and the like! I don't know if I'm quite ready to start my own website now, but you just never know what the future will bring!
Check out my new stash that I got in the mail yesterday! Awesome beads from Terrestrial! What I love most about these: Inexpensive AND all Large 16 inch strands! Lots of BANG for Your BUCK!

ooh, like what you did Lorelei - nice arrangement and you are so fearless with color combinations - who's next in the lineup?
ReplyDeleteThanks Lynn!
ReplyDeleteI sent it off to Joelle this morning!
Oh my gosh! I love it! This is so exciting! And exciting for you! I wish I could come and take the class with you! I am self taught and could use class time! Dreamweaver is fun! Have a great time! I gave Joelle an owl tote bag over the weekend with a jewelry/beading kit inside. She'll have no excuses! I'll have to contact the next in line!
ReplyDeleteI love what you did with the necklace! Gaea (generous to a fault) has given me a tool set and a bunch of goodies to play with. I'm a little intimidated, but excited, too. ;)
ReplyDeleteHi Gaea!
ReplyDeleteI actually already mailed out the piece to Joelle. She is next in line! Mailed it out this morning so, she should see it in a few days.
Hi Joelle,
No excuses! Bead your little heart out! Have fun with it! Think "outside" the Pandora's Box!!
