Happy Halloween Ghoul-friends!!!

Inspired by the beautiful Autumn weather we're having and all the fun Halloween decorations everyone has out, I had to bead with some bright orange beads today.

So many people embellish with Halloween lights on their houses now just like a Christmas lighting display--so very festive!

NEW Salvation Denim Bead Bracelet

Once I was dead in sin (black), but then I found out that Jesus died on the cross and shed His blood (red) to save me from my sin. He washed me just as pure as a crystal (clear), and I followed Him in baptism (blue) because that's what He tells us to do. I study my Bible and pray so that I can grow (green) to become more like Him, and one day I'm going to walk the Streets of Gold (yellow).

Tri-Strand Classic Fit Necklace & Earrings

This design was fun to create.

For the necklace, I used three strands of black elastic 1mm bead cord, and tied knots at various places to hold the denim beads in specific places. The pendant and main beads in the earrings are sapphire glass and wire beads.

Mixed Media Necklace and Earrings

I'm adding a new medium to my pieces. I've always been fascinated with Polymer Clay, so I'm just starting to work with it. I have a lot to learn, but I'm having fun playing! The pendant on this denim bead necklace is a tri-color, polymer clay experiment.

Casual Day Earrings

I just came from a shopping spree at Sea of Beads in Lakeville, MN. It gave me a "Sea" of inspiration for creating some new earrings.

Relaxed Amber Dangle Necklace

I'm inspired by the beautiful Iowa sunsets. The warm, rich glow of amber in the sky is captivating. The dangling amber beads on this "relaxed fit" necklace create a warm glow against the sky blue jean background.

Denim Jewelry is a Hit!!!

I just filled my first order!! I'm so excited to be able to share my creative idea with family and friends and even make a little money, too!!
