12 of 12 VI - January

Well, I'm back! I know I said 2008 was going to be the year of continuous 12 of 12 participation, but it wasn't. No more need be said.

2009 is a brand new year and I'm excited to have realized that today was the 12th! You see, I made the decision to start a new business adventure. I started making jewelry. It started with the thought that I could make bejeweled rear view mirror decorations and it transformed into bracelets, earrings and I even made a necklace last week. I will have more information on the website when I've had a chance to make more stock to post, but in the mean time I took pictures of Las Cosas Mas Bella (the cool name my friend Emily helped me come up with for said rear view mirror decorations) that I made for my Crusader friends as belated Christmas presents.

That being said, I present 12 of 12 VI - January.

This piece is accented with a 20mm bright white stone heart with a silver plated bail.

This piece is accented an approximately 28mm black felt heart and an 8mm fire-polished emerald round

This bracelet is made with 8mm faceted cubes and 6mm jet black bicone beads

I made some non-matching earrings...non-matching as in the cubes are not the same color in each earring.

Trying new ways to showcase the piece.

I think this view really showcases the piece.

This piece is made with 8mm yellow and gold round beads and accented with an 8mm silver round spacer. I also made earrings to match.

146 - Quirky

If you've ever been to La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, you've seen the quirkiness of its various facades. There is a Christmas tree carved in the top of it...I'd say that is pretty darn quirky.

280 - Picnic

We went to the grocery store before leaving Foix for a picnic lunch. We decided to stop in Merens les Vales for a creekside picnic.
