Owls, Owls Everywhere

My friend recently did her nursery with an owl theme and I just LOVE it! It seems like birds and owls are everywhere these days. And of course I had to jump on the bandwagon! I bought a whole bunch of these owl pendants a while ago and have used them in a couple of pieces already. This one though, I especially loved. So much so, that I made one for myself only in different colors. This one uses green and beige rock beads to give it more of an earthy vibe.




And I even made matching earrings.....

P is for Peacock

Another great trend I'm loving lately is the peacock. The combo of blue and green really compliment each other nicely. So when I found a couple of peacock pendants I had to use them!

You may remember my golden leaves necklace from earlier this year. I wanted to remake it, but was having trouble finding the leaves. Instead, I found some other leaves and decided to make a slightly different version of the original necklace. I made one in gold and one in silver. I still like the three strand version better, but for a more simple look, I went with a single strand style.

Trees of Green

In preparation for the holiday season, my cousin asked me to make some more jewelry for her shop, Tree House Treasures. I did some searching around for more "woodsy" type pieces and absolutely fell in love with this tree pendant. I got some in the pewter color and some in a brushed bronze color. I had some left over green rocks that I thought would go perfect with the pewter pendant. And it did!

Pink Shells and Pearls

The draped, multi-tiered necklaces are definitely in right now. As a designer, I've got to keep up with the latest trends, so I decided to try one out. I kind of like it. It's got a little vintage feel with the filigree and the pearls. The pink shells just give it a little pop of feminine color. And when I showed it to my great-aunt, she wanted to buy it right away!

Little Red Rocks

One of my favorite colors is red.  It's fun, it's bold, and it's sexy. There's nothing better than a nice bright pop of red. Unfortunately, it's a miserable day outside and I couldn't get really good lighting for the photos. Sorry about that!  I did take a flash picture so you can see how neat the beads are.

Golden Leaves

Words cannot explain how much I love this necklace. It's even gold, and I'm not a huge gold fan. But I found these 5 leaf pendants and I just couldn't break them up into multiple pieces. They had to stay together. And this is the result. Simple and elegant. Love it!
