My Green Glass

I had these green glass beads with the black swirls on them and thought they were really interesting but wasn't sure what to do with them. I wish I'd had more so I could have put together some earrings to go with the necklace since the bead itself is so unusual, but you work with what you've got!

I thought the bead was so unique, I wanted to make sure it stood out and wasn't lost in a design that was too busy, so I put together a necklace with the beads themselves as the main (really only!) focal point, using black beads in two different sizes to offset them. I think it really helped define them and keep attention on the green.

My Business Set

This set was fun to put together, even if it is a pretty cut and dry design. The angles on the red beads are offset nicely by the smooth, perfectly round black beads. This set makes me think of something that is pretty but practical. Something you could wear everyday, either to the office with business attire or to dress up a pair of jeans. While it's fun to create something "new and different," it was nice to put together something a little more "tame!"
