We were partnered up with another craftster and had to make something for each other. Well I had the wonderful Kelci! She made me a beautiful and large (just like I requested!) cosmetic bag. Not that I wear that much makeup but there never seems to be enough room in them when it comes to traveling. I love the polka dots on the inside!<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7enaXU7lzbs/SjFBCSahouI/AAAAAAAAA1w/4CtqfOuvaWg/s1600-h/IMG_4108.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346125740224127714" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 167px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7enaXU7lzbs/SjFBCSahouI/AAAAAAAAA1w/4CtqfOuvaWg/s200/IMG_4108.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7enaXU7lzbs/SjFBCvBtiLI/AAAAAAAAA14/4YFPIlIId_w/s1600-h/IMG_4110.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346125747904678066" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 136px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7enaXU7lzbs/SjFBCvBtiLI/AAAAAAAAA14/4YFPIlIId_w/s200/IMG_4110.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><div><div><div><div>I also emphasized that I wanted a clutch!

Yesterday I made a circle with sterling silver wire and freshwater pearls. Not bad for my first time, huh? I was really proud of myself! *pat on the back* My biggest fan, my mom, really loved it too. I am going to make one in gold filled for her. But don't tell her... :) If you would like to purchase this item, please visit my shop!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=14064103"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5231892585995178802" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7enaXU7lzbs/SJtqllM-EzI/AAAAAAAAAk4/IP1eR8vvh_s/s200/N-102a.jpg" border="0" /></a>"Me" of BellaLu and Me.http://www.blogger.com/profile/00118364277813299802noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4790703232438127623.post-17642053346824335142008-07-22T17:12:00.000-07:002008-12-10T03:30:09.903-08:00Been busy!!<div>I have been busy creating! Soon after I put the littlest one to sleep, my hubby usually takes care of our oldest, I get busy on making beautiful jewelry! I wish I could wear and keep everything. I get so excited that I usually start something but will leave it to start another. It's just all so much fun. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>I am working with a little more gold filled, so you will see more gold filled items popping up in my creations. I am also thinking of purchasing <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=13148748">ruby quartz </a>soon. It is supposed to be hot for the fall. Trends do not matter too much to me though, but I do love the color red.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>I have added four new listings to my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5696424">etsy shop</a>. The <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=13592074">orange carnelian earrings </a>I loved so much I am going to keep them and make another set. I love the beautiful orange color and these stones are an exceptional quality. No inclusions, just a beautiful orange color throughout the briolette. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Enjoy!</div><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7enaXU7lzbs/SIZ6WCQQ_dI/AAAAAAAAAko/8gWgBtBcDOA/s1600-h/E-8a.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225998936590843346" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7enaXU7lzbs/SIZ6WCQQ_dI/AAAAAAAAAko/8gWgBtBcDOA/s200/E-8a.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7enaXU7lzbs/SIZ6WLJm2zI/AAAAAAAAAkw/tGv3Yy6lORI/s1600-h/E-8d.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225998938978835250" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7enaXU7lzbs/SIZ6WLJm2zI/AAAAAAAAAkw/tGv3Yy6lORI/s200/E-8d.jpg" border="0" /></a></div>"Me" of BellaLu and Me.http://www.blogger.com/profile/00118364277813299802noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4790703232438127623.post-86350660164540186262008-07-16T14:53:00.000-07:002008-12-10T03:30:10.186-08:00Free earrings!!<div>Yes, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=13426033">free earrings</a>!

That would have been my reaction a few months ago. But look at me now. Making jewelry has become a great passion of mine! I would make things for family, friends, and myself. But there were times when I would have ideas or be inspired and I would make, and make, and make…I needed to do something about it. I have been blessed with the support and encouragement from many people and well, here I am. </span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><br />I wanted to start a blog to share my inspirations and thoughts on the pieces that I make…give a little life to the jewelry…I hope you enjoy it. I hope you get inspired, as I have become seeing all the beautiful work of the many other fellow craftsters.<br /><br />I wanted to share a bridal set that I made for a beautiful and energetic bride Maria. When we first met, she was so excited about what I was going to create. Here are a few pictures. If I manage to take a picture of her wearing the pieces I will post it!<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7enaXU7lzbs/SH1Cwl0_zuI/AAAAAAAAAjo/6cB8H4tD3_U/s1600-h/N-96a.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223404545375194850" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7enaXU7lzbs/SH1Cwl0_zuI/AAAAAAAAAjo/6cB8H4tD3_U/s200/N-96a.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7enaXU7lzbs/SH1CxOFLzWI/AAAAAAAAAkA/fa-kXhCAIVQ/s1600-h/bracelet.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223404556180508002" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7enaXU7lzbs/SH1CxOFLzWI/AAAAAAAAAkA/fa-kXhCAIVQ/s200/bracelet.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7enaXU7lzbs/SH1CxYBVMrI/AAAAAAAAAkI/hV_ta7dfbVI/s1600-h/Earrings.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223404558848701106" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7enaXU7lzbs/SH1CxYBVMrI/AAAAAAAAAkI/hV_ta7dfbVI/s200/Earrings.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />And of course I have to add pics of my little Lucia who loves everything mama makes...<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7enaXU7lzbs/SH1Cw-ZVSEI/AAAAAAAAAjw/dDTSEHfkM44/s1600-h/IMG_2159.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223404551970048066" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7enaXU7lzbs/SH1Cw-ZVSEI/AAAAAAAAAjw/dDTSEHfkM44/s200/IMG_2159.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7enaXU7lzbs/SH1CxJsCMFI/AAAAAAAAAj4/-bZD4VJ7Q-M/s1600-h/IMG_2158.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223404555001278546" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7enaXU7lzbs/SH1CxJsCMFI/AAAAAAAAAj4/-bZD4VJ7Q-M/s200/IMG_2158.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /></span><br /></span>"Me" of BellaLu and Me.http://www.blogger.com/profile/00118364277813299802noreply@blogger.com0
