Barrettes

The third Barrette looks like a LOTUS. It is made with a captured opal cabochon and two large amethyst marquise cabochons. The opal is surrounded by genuine amethyst beads, and finished with a little flower made with seed beads. The two amethyst cabochons are surrounded by mother of pearl beads. In between these three beautiful cabochons - a shiny genuine off white pearl. The barrette is framed with dark lavender seed beads.

The second Barrette is made with blue German Glass. It is a beautiful royal blue and I enhanced the color with white genuine pearls. I added two royal blue cat's eye cabochons to complete the design. (to be continued...)

Barrettes

S... is a friend who declared she is a fan of my work. She loves barrettes and barrettes love her beautiful long, curly, blond hair. The first barrette in a series of three ordered by S...is made of a genuine jade cabochon, coral beads, cat's eye cabochons, and genuine pearls, all surrounded by seed beads. (to be continued...)

Treasuries

I enjoy making Treasuries! I am discovering my inner curator. I made several treasuries this month. I am choosing this one for my Blog, because of the rich colors and this Southern feeling.
