New Projects!!
Ok I know I haven't really said much about jewelry lately. That's because I just didn't have the desire or the ideas to make anything. When I feel that way I don't fight it, because then I make stuff that is really cool when I am ready mentally for it. Today I sat down on ebay and did some looking around for slider beads. I saw a bracelet that one of my neighbor's friends had made (she does only bead stuff) and it was so pretty I asked her where she got the beads. Now, I don't like to copy anyone, so I looked for a similar design such as a 2 hole slider bead, but not the same style. I found these for a good price and I am soooooooo excited to get them!! I bought some of the butterfly sets and some other crystal set ones. I can't post the pics here because the store owner disabled it :( They are coming from someone in New England by priority mail so I'm hoping by Tuesday or Wednesday I'll have them. I have to get some more beading wire though.

Pretty little 2 hole sliders

These are so frigging adorable but I just don't know what to do with them yet. I've had them for a while. I love the idea of a locket but I don't actually use one myself. I have 4 of these so maybe I should make one and wear it around a bit. Should I bead with it though? Or just hang it on a chain?

I used these tonight to make an interesting necklace. The pendant is a large blue and brass dragonfly that I dangled a teeny tiny round locket from. I don't know what kind of pic you could put in it...its so small!!!!! With digital photos and printers now though you should be able to make a tiny picture no problem...?!
Hopefully by tomorrow I'll have some new jewelry pics of what I made tonight. My computer is running horribly low on memory lately so its a pain every time I want to load pictures onto my hard drive. I don't know what to do about it at this point!!

Neat beads! I have a tiny locket and have never been able to put anything in it. Maybe you could print off tiny fortunes and put them in?
