My first ring!

This is my first attempt at making a ring, and the design of the ring is one I found on one of the forums I visited. Unfortunately, I can't remember which one, and so can't give credit where it is due. :( However, I do recall that it is based on a tutorial by beadergoingnuts in Beadingholics

Anyway, I'm completely new to making rings, and therefore need lots more practice before I am able to make them proficiently and efficiently, and most importantly, find my own style.

However, I was so excited about having made my first ring that I just had to blog about it. Here's another shot of it on my ugly and un-manicured hand.

Mother's Day

This pendant is inspired by Eni Oken's Abacus.

Made of several feet of sterling silver wire and dyed freshwater pearls, this is Mum's Mother's Day present this year.

Pearl Explosion

I named this Pearl Explosion as it seemed to me an explosion of pearls. It is a cha-cha style bracelet made with freshwater pearls with sterling silver headpins on a sterling silver chain bracelet. Each pearl was lovingly and carefully attached to the chain by hand. It makes a lovely and soothing rustling sound when you move.

It dresses up a simple outfit of jeans and t-shirt, and is not out of place with something more dressy.
