Whee!
I love coming home to a Fire Mountain Gems box full of shiny. I used my sister-in-law's upcoming birthday as an excuse to buy some awesome dyed freshwater pearls, and threw in some glass beads of various colors and finishes for good measure. I really like working with glass beads; they can be inexpensive, yet always look sturdy and nice. I got some two-toned crackle-finish, and some great foil finish that are big enough to make great focal pieces.
If I don't get totally sucked into the third Stephanie Meyer's Twilight series book tomorrow, I'll finally do a big update to Etsy.
Coral Reef. Choker. Mixed gold and red glass with blue-green acrylic seed beads on tigertail, with a gold hook and eye clasp. This was designed around a completely different focus bead, but in the end I didn't like how it looked.

I thought the legos in the background were a nice touch...

Unnamed. A strand of quartz with sterling spacers, a strand of three clear glass beads on silver-plated chain. Silver-plate spring clasp.

Clearer view of the legos, and the dust.
