Blue Shimmer

Shimmery beads from both shell and plastic, little blue bugle beads, some glass. Blue, taupe, white and green.

Turtle Time

Isn't this one sweet? I think so. Lots of gold finish beads: small round, square, and long, along with the turtle. Then glass beads along with some acrylic. Fun!

Pink and Brown

This is a recycled necklace. My aunt gave me a bunch of her vintage broken costume jewelry, which is where the brown comes from. The pink ovals are from a $2 necklace at Family Dollar, which I then took apart.

Shanghai Red

I needed a red necklace to go with anything black or red. It's handy. Just red wooden beads in different sizes with black matte plastic beads as spacers.

Everything Necklace - light colors

I like making necklaces that can go with just about any outfit because they have so many colors in them. This is one of them and I used many light colors. It's a good way to make something out of a bunch of stray beads.

Purple Blocks

Antique gold costume beads, purple wooden blocks, heavy wire. You can only wear this one for a while before it weighs you down but it's a major statement.

The Little Butterfly

All little beads: copper finish, glass, plastic, bugle and the pendant is metal with a painted finish, purchased from an oriental items vendor at Fanueil Hall ages ago.
