Ammonite necklace

Ammonite clay pendant : Angel Whisperer

Rustic labradorite donut

Agate links

Snakeskin jasper

Chain and wire

I've enjoyed making longer necklaces lately.
This one is long enough to slip over
your head, no clasp needed.

I won the donut and some other beads
from Laura at Moags and Smeet
a long time ago. The other beads
are still in my stash maturing
as Laura so nicely put it. *Ü*

Bunny jewelry set

I bought this amazing raku and copper

bunny necklace and the

copper and pyrite bunny earrings

from Simplee You on Etsy

almost two years ago.

The chain was quite short and

the necklace didn't feel comfortable on.

The pendant is 7½ cm in diameter.

I exchanged the original chain for a 

bigger and longer one.
The bead and the clasp at the front
are from the original necklace.

I love this set, it's perfect for spring.

Happy Easter!

Acorn and oak leaf

The focal in this necklace is a gorgeous lampwork 

glass acorn and an etched copper oak leaf by

Julie Nordine of Credit River Art Glass.

The other ingredients are a handful of 

agate beads to match the colors in the focal,

wire and chain.

The earrings I made to match the poppy necklace
are perfect for this necklace too:

faceted agate beads and brass.

Midnight poppy

The inspiration for this necklace was the 

incredibly beautiful hand sculpted polymer clay

poppy pendant made by Zuda Gay.

I added a few of my favorite agate beads,

a little wire, a few jump rings

and some chain.

The beads closest to the pendant are 22 mm big beauties!

The key to ancient treasures

I made this necklace a couple of weeks ago.

The weather has mostly been cloudy and rainy.

I knew I wouldn't get good photos indoors.

I deceided to take photos outdoors instead.

I had fun experimenting.

My Mother's Day gifts

I know I'm a bit late, as usual,

but here are my Mother's Day gifts:

Ronja gave me this happy cloud

and the sweet card below.

Mirja gave me this pretty card.

The flowers made me think of wood anemones.

No Mother's Day is perfect without jewelry!

Gorgeous sterling silver and turquoise necklace from

Bella-Bijou Jewellery.

Happy Mother's Day!

I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day!

I didn't get breakfast in bed, but I got

bread, mozzarella salad, cappuccino, 

fruit salad and champagne!

I could get used to this!

We spent Mother's Day in Porvoo

with my mother.

I made her a necklace with copper, agate and

jasper beads and a ceramic pendant

from Shaterra Clay Studio.

She also got this original watercolor painting

by Michelle L. Palmer from Avery Hill.
