I WISH IT WERE SUMMER

I WISH IT WERE SUMMER!!  

A Lisa Lodge (Pine Ridge Treasures..on Facebook) blog hop bead challenge.

I love these challenges!!  I learn so much about myself; stretch the bounds of my creativity!!  I recommend something like this to all artisans.

The premise is this:  Lisa announces a theme.  You buy the kit sight unseen; with just a couple of clues. What we knew about this kit was that it might contain cultured sea glass, glass, plated metal, and other surprises (you see... no 2 kits are alike).  My surprises were charms (stars), Picture Jaspar, glass pearls, and some lovely findings (clasps, hooks, spacers)

Here is a picture of the items I received:

You all know I LOVE this selection!  My ideas were flowing like nearby Niagara Falls!  Here is aa picture of ALL of my items I thought I would use with my new treasures!

You are absolutely right.....a wee bit overwhelming!

After narrowing down my choices I made a bracelet, a pair of earrings and 2 necklaces.  I hope you like them!  Please leave comments below.

The following is the same necklaces with a view of how it hangs.

I love them all but this last one is my very favorite!! Not sure yet, I might just keep it.  

Thank you all for visiting.  Please follow me for more blog hop challenges, sightseeing, fashion tips, visiting with your favorite artist.  I have restructured my blog.  I will post the  schedule in my next post.

These items will be for sale at silverpennyartisan.etsy.com Monday 2/27/16.

Thank you so much for stopping by!!!!!

Have a great day!!!

Drop Earrings. Delicate Peach and Gold Earrings

 This listing is for the pair of delicate peach and gold drop earrings picture above.

A 24 K gold plated Morning Glory shaped ear wire is holding a 10 mm peach Czech faceted glass matte finished melon bead. 

These earrings hang 1 1/4" from the top of the hook (they will land at the very top of your jaw).

They are truly one of a kind jewelry. Elegant yet playful; subtle and dramatic all at once! These will easily become your go-to earrings for any occasions!

GOLD is the color of wealth, success and status.

The color peach represents immortality in Chinese civilization because the peach tree of immortality, long thought to be on a mountainside somewhere in the Tian Shan mountains in western China, is a key concept in the mythology of the Taoist religion.

OOAK Unique Jewelry September 28, 2015

Long Asymmetrical Green, Ivory, and Brown Dangle Earrings

 

 

 Long asymmetrical green, ivory, and brown dangle earrings are very unique indeed!!
These are fun whimsical statement jewelry!
While they are made of natural stone, They are very light to wear.
The sea foam green stones and the ivory quartz are individually knotted on chocolate brown Irish waxed linen thread for drama AND security.
The bit of whimsy was added with the polka dot euro style beads.
Two (2) different shaped cola colored transparent beads finish off the earrings with asymmetrical flare.
Personally, I feel these are more casual than dressy but I will leave that up to you.
One hangs 4 1/2" (11.43cm). The other not quite 5" (12.7cm).
Dangle earrings look best with oval, round and heart shaped faces.

OUR NEWEST PIECE (20 September 2015)

Blue Mismatched Asian Earrings/

Miniature Vase Jewelry/ 

Porcelain Earring/ 

Blue Jewelry

 

Blue mismatched Asian earrings. Blue asymmetrical Dutch earrings. It doesn't matter what I call them....I LOVE these earrings. I bought a bulk "mystery" bag of porcelain beads from one of my suppliers and these were the only ones like them. Four (4) pounds of beads! They stood out like 2 diamonds!

Anyway, these little beauties hang 2" from the top of the French hook. As with all of my dangle earrings, I added a silicone back for extra security.

I accented them with cobalt pressed glass donuts and round periwinkle cultured sea glass beads.

These earrings will soon become your everyday earrings.

SILVER PENNY ARTISANS~~~OUR NEWEST PIECE (8 September 2015)

Boho Heart Charm Bracelet/ Green White and Silver Jewelry/ Silver Charm Bracelet

 

 This listing is for one Boho Heart Charm Bracelet.

The color palette is Pantone 11-0105 TCX Antique White, Silver, Pantone 15-0318 TCX Sage Green, and Pantone 12-0315 TPX White Jade.

The iridescence allows versatility in wearing this fun, stunning bracelet. You can wear it everyday or with that special little black dress.

This is one of my favorite creations. I am seriously thinking about repainting my living room in this Pantone color palette.

This charm bracelet has it all!! You can call it Shabby Chic (although according to the term's copy righter, Rachel Ashwell, it must be white to be called shabby chic). Personally, I like GLAMOROUS HIPPIE!!!
