One that I finished up last night. Watch me try to be all artsy and thematic with the photographing!
Seaside Geometry: This is a reworking of one of the
first projects I did a few weeks ago when I was overcome with the years-dormant shiny OMG lust. And then I ended up restringing the thing three more times.

17 inches, blue-green 3mm acrylic beads, silver spacers, a couple of blue-green glass beads, and the blue and green inset silver square focals, with a silver two-strand snap clasp.

And tonight I pulled out a couple of the pre-made 18 inch thin leather cords I'd ordered a few weeks ago and started fooling around:
Green with Envy: The first version of this just had the large green glass beads and the silver spacers. And while that looked good, it demanded more, which ended up being the green glass dangles on headpins. I re-purposed a couple of 5mm silver crimp covers as stoppers so the design won't slide off the cord.

18 inches. Mixed green glass, silver spacers.
Parchment Roses: A local landmark store in these parts has had to consolidate due to skyrocketing rents, and they recently had a sale. I wandered down to check things out with Mer, and left my wallet behind, because I'd busted my budget last month building up the shiny stash. And what do we find? A whole table full of beads. As part of consolidating their stock to clear out of that space, they cleaned out their basement, and there was a bunch of nifty vintage and unique beads. Mer, being the awesomest friend ever, spotted me $20 worth of shiny. The ceramic focal here is one of the finds from that trip.

All three of these will go up on the
Stellar Parallax Designs Etsy shop this weekend.
