I am in love this new piece with its island girl boho glam..the little purple dyed clover flower is mother of pearl and is reminiscent of the little clover flower bling that dangles off of Louis Vuitton bags and key chains. And the mother of pearls is keeping to the island theme along with the freshwater pearls and the relaxed organic style of the knotted silk. It's one of the newest additions to my shop...and you can check out more pics of it here:
Are you jewelry lovers watching this show? I'm so excited about it..it's so much fun! I get so jealous that every time my husband gets into something be it sports, guns, knives, ATV's...hunting..etc..there is always a million shows on about it all day long it seems. I know we've had some craft shows in the past..but seems they aren't on anymore...at least not here on Maui.

My other favorite was Nina Cortes shoes on episode 2...super cute and very boho..

I love how this show challenges their creative abilities and helps you to see outside of the box. Especially the first episode where they had to get their supplies from two storage units of junk..and they only had 15 min to grab things. I could watch a show based just on that every week! Here's to hoping this sets off more ideas for crafty shows to watch!
Here are a few pieces I've made for family members and friends recently..
This cool triple pendant boho necklace went to my sister...it has a colorful array of many different stones..mostly jaspers..the front middle pendant is Peruvian opal
These earrings are still waiting for their new home with my sister to match her necklace above...
This Boho Beachy necklace also went to my sister to hopefully match some earrings she bought from another friend jewelry designer that has beach glass in them.This has glass pearls and fire polish glass faceted beads with a pendant of hami jasper and synthetic chalcedony briolette.
This peacock pearl and Paua abalone shell crocheted necklace just went to a friend visiting from the mainland who used to live here. She also got one hot off the press..no pics because I literally just finished making it..it was turquoise blue crystal and a Hill Tribe silver little Honu charm for a pendant...super sparkly and cute!
There were a couple of necklaces and a bracelet that went out to a friend and my sis in law that I didn't get pictures of..kinda bummed about that..it's always nice to at least have a pic for memories sake..I tend to get attached to any piece I'm working on ;-)
Aloha! Welcome to my blog :) I'm a very busy devoted wife and mother, home-school mom, bookkeeper for the family business and a pretty awesome auntie ;-) I am quiet but very friendly :) I find therapy in beading and other types of artistic endeavors and am forever wishing I had more time to try new crafty things. My family and I have been on Maui since 1992 and although we do miss friends and family back on the mainland, we will never leave our beautiful island home. Please make yourself at home here...look around and leave comments...tell me what you think :)
