Lovely Jewelry

I haven't shuffled through my box of beads in ages.  It's been so long, in fact, that I almost forgot about the ancient days when I used to make jewelry.  Upon discovering my jewelry tools under a pile of HGTV magazines, I was overcome with excitement.  You see... beads are awesome.  How many bead stores did I drag my brothers into on family vacations?  All of them.  Every one.  I'm not joking.

Lately I've been crazy about gold.  I have a beautiful gold chain that needs a pendent, so that was what I decided to create tonight.  I had some natural beads (wood, stone, etc.) that looked perfect with my gold wiring.

This gold wiring is far more malleable than the silver I'm used to working with, so I did some experimenting.  Because what's more awesome than beads?  Love.
