Bee pendant by Nan Emmett of SpiritedEarth, antique button, wood beads and clay beads by Clay River.
She made a tote out of a old rag rug and it was so much fun. She saw a picture of a recycled bag and loved the idea that everything was found our reused. We went through old scrapes of fabric old buttons and yarn, what a fun project.
The 1st project she made was mixed media art. She wanted to use butterflies and the colors she liked were the greens and blues so that was our start. Look what she made!!! What a great job.
My nieces are so much fun. I love all kinds of art and sewing projects with all of them.
On my facebook page PRAIRIE EMPORIUM JEWELRY I am having a give-away. All you have to do is go to the suggest to friends button and suggest to your friends to like Prairie Emporium Jewelry. The extra bead soup bracelet in the last post with the Poly-Anna flower is the give-away. Please stop by my facebook page and check it out.
I uses some of the Czech glass and Swarovski crystals that Jennie sent with my bead soup mix. I also used a little poly-Anna flower she sent (she makes the Poly- Anna’s), not in the bead soup mix. I also used some rainbow moonstone, sandstone and made my own copper hook and eye. I think this bracelet has a Shabby Chic look and love the way it turned out. The little flower bead is really cute and could be used so many ways. Thank you Jennie I love it.
On Monday I had some friends over for a little lunch and some creativity. It rained in the morning and by noon was beautiful. We had our lunch outside then headed inside to create. As you can see they each did a great job and took home some lovely pieces of jewelry. It was still a little cloudy so the pictures could be better but still beautiful jewelry.
If you would like to see larger photos go to my flickr.
Turquoise lampwork by Sue Beads, swarovski crystals, copper and brass.
I love these lampwork beads from Sue Beads, the colors are beautiful. I have had them for a while just hoarding them, I guess. I don’t know why because Sue is so good about reorders and getting beads to you fast. I used some of the turquoise beads like the first pair of earrings in a bracelet and had a special order to make a necklace to match. Sue had beads in the mail to me faster than a whip stitch (do you like my Kansas slang). Thank you Sue, you are awesome. Sue’s blog.

The Bead Soup Party Hosted by Lori Anderson, stop by her blog for all the details.
My bead soup mix from Jeannie,awesome pendant ( Thai silver is my favorite) and cute silver owl clasp with swarovski crystals and Czech glass.
I used Labradorite nuggets, Czech glass and two leaves from Every Heart Crafts with a mix of metals.
The Thai silver pendant is on a small strand of leather strung with oxidized Thai silver. Two forged copper stripes, copper beads, Thai silver beads and sterling silver chain in the body of the necklace with the beads.
I didn’t use any of the Czech glass or the crystals, I just kept going back to a more natural or organic look.
