Sister Night III & IV

Due to an unfortunate mishap involving photos and email and differences in OS's, I was unable to post last week's sister night entry. So here it is:

I really liked this one that she did. A friend gave her the little keys and asked her to make a necklace with them and this is what she came up with.

And on to this week's edition:

Lovely. Where I favor crystals and freshwater pearls in my designs, she prefers the jewel tones of swarovski pearls. The color combinations she creates are simple and elegant.

We don't usually do this, but we have a theme in mind for next week! I'm so excited.

And now for a taste of things to come:

These are for a variation on the second starfish necklace. My old boss wants me to make one for his wife for her birthday this month. Aquamarine is the birthstone for March, so I have to say he made a pretty good choice with this one.

These are for me. I've been coveting these red pieces for quite some time, so I took the opportunity to pick them up while I was out there on Monday. The clear one is an effect called crystal moonlight. It's difficult to see in this picture, but it has a more subtle rainbow shine to it than the aurora borealis beads. I picked this one up to repair a piece in my jewelry box that got chipped. Now to find some time to work on it!
