Black Tie Affair


I made another tassle, or lariat, necklace since my first one was already purchased from my etsy store.  This one has a 24" silver chain and toggle clasp.  There are five strands to the lariat ~ pearls, glass beads and a silver filigree ball  all dangle playfully from it.  I am in the process of making one more that's just a little different, both chain and bead-wise.  I'll probably put that one on etsy, too.  Which means that I'll actually have to make a fourth one so I can wear it myself ~ I LOVE it! 

I'm also working on a charm bracelet, although my time has been spread thin lately.  What with maintaining the etsy store and this blog, and trying to educate myself about social networks, art-related and otherwise, I could be swallowed whole by this computer and not come back out for about a billion light years.  It's both exciting and frustrating at the same time.  On the one hand it's amazing to be learning so much, while on the other hand I really want to be just making jewelry.  Hopefully I will eventually find a happy medium.

 



Time to put the kids to bed and then (hopefully) create a precious treasure I can share with you soon.  Ciao.
