Year of Jewelry ~ Week 9

I actually posted this on the group on time but I'm late

posting it here☺

I haven't followed all of the weekly prompts

(they are just suggested prompts to help give you a kick start if you are lost for ideas)

but as luck would have it this weeks "theme" was

"Simplicity"

Thank goodness!☺



Torch fired enameled beads on balled copper wire with handmade copper ear wires



I have been a little busy working on this

and having a blast☺

Still have a ways to go on the moose but progress is good~

And getting a good start

on the bears and whales.

And I've made some progress on a couple of these

trying to decide between clear or blue cubes for last bead row

fell in love with these colors almost immediately

(please excuse the multi-colored straight pins☺)

and this one was a bear, to put it nicely!

I tried about a dozen color combinations and hated them all.

I had almost decided to start from scratch when this happened some how~

now I love it♥

And now I need to finish it! lol!

(Need to point out here that the gorgeous focals that inspire the color combos

are, as usual, from my very fav lampwork artist Juls♥)

Also working on some ideas for my bead soup.

I have so many ideas I want to try, I need to narrow them down

 and get to work cuz our reveal date is

April 6☺
