My latest feathers...:)

I've made a couple of peacock feather pendants recently. The second one got a lot bigger than I had planned on! I think the necklace part actually took longer to make, though! Twisted herringbone. The center of the first one is some kind of man made silver gritty stone.

The lower one has one of my polymer clay "Butterfly Beads" as the center of the pendant. The necklace part (twisted herringbone again) is 18" long, so that tells you how large the pendant is! Just finished this one today. :)

Long absence...

Haven't been doing much blogging - lots of Pinning and beading, though! We had a flood in our kitchen at the end of last year that required the entire thing to be replaced, and it wasn't done til January! It stopped me from being able to do much crafty stuff, though I love my new kitchen! So I've been making up for lost time crafting things and not doing much blogging about it, I'm afraid! 

This is a new wire wrap I am using that I have to attribute to the wonderful Lisa Barth. Her beautiful work is all over my Pinterest page! These pendants are both created from polymer clay. I call the white one a Fauxpal. The red one is derived from a rose cane.
The pendants below are also based on the same rose cane as the one above. This is a different wire wrap that is based on a Viking Knit.

This one is a copy of someone else's work I saw online. Just love those swirls!

These two bracelets were done with the same stitch, even though they look quite different. They are a mixture of twin beads and seed beads.

These tiny "air balloons" are my latest project. 

Fell in love with some ear wraps and came up with this design. 

My beaded dragon. I called this one Smoke because she is blowing a smoke puff on my counter. ;) Pink wire with gold seed beads.
Pink Smoke. :) This one is all pink wire.
Gave this one purple beads and some feet to hold on with.

Made this one with brass wire and crimped brass wings.

Last one for this post is the kitty bead. Love how the eyes and nose move. :) Hard to see his cute little whiskers....Made him with one of my Faupals.
There is more but that's all for now. Thanks for visiting, and let me know what you think!
