I made myself something... for once :)

I don't know about you, but I always make jewelry to put it up for sale, and I rarely make something for myself.

I buy jewelry made by other artists to wear (I love doing that!), but then I go around and I tell people I make jewelry and I have nothing of mine to show - I just say "This ring is by Tamara", "This necklace is by Eni", "This bracelet is by Cindy ", "Those earrings are made by Donna, or Sus", etc....

And then they go "but where can we see your stuff?" LOL....

I always have plans to make myself something, but I always push it further down the "to do" list, and this time I decided that I was going to take the time to make something for moi :)

So I made myself this bracelet (I made the rustic fused fine silver oval links on it from scratch), as well as a pair of earrings, all made from scratch.

The reflections of light in these cool lampwork beads remind me of when we walk on the beach, and the water rolls up on the sand, tickling our toes, the sunlight makes the water sparkle in shades of turquoise, green and the white sand mirrors through.

I lost another 2lbs this past week on WW, so this could serve as my 'non-food' treat, right? :)
