Bird's Nest Earrings

Bird's Nest Earrings
I'm quite proud of these little beauties. They are tiny little birds nests, smaller than a dime. The nest is made to look like random twigs woven together (as a real bird would make theirs) and each has three tiny eggs nestled safe and warm within. The eggs are made with very pale lavender freshwater pearls.

Pentacle Earrings

The pentacles are slightly smaller than a dime and are topped with 4 tourmaline chips. I wanted to do something with the elements for the top... but the only kind of beads I have in enough colors are seed beads and when I tried with them it just didn't look right.

Rose Quartz Pendulum

I noticed that some of my rose quartz chips were rather large and had a hole at one end instead of in the middle so I picked them out to experiment with making them into pendulums.

The chain is made up of fire polished glass and (I believe) agate while the handle is made with a pink freshwater pearl.

Pentacle Design

This was one of the first pentacles I made once the design was finalized. I'm quite happy with how it turned out.
