My fav are the Journal how to's.

I've made a few things to order this week and one project is in progress.



My wire circlet. I am not sure if I am going to mix silver wire with it.



Blue swirl pendant with one lampwork bead, aqua and clear crystal rondelles. The chain is an 18 inch curb.


Close up of the pendant.




Blue Swirl earrings
Silver plated headpins with lampwork bead, Aqua and clear crystal rondelles. The ear wire is Bali Silver
