Big, Bold, Vibrant Chunky: New Wood Bead Necklaces at My Modern Beads Shop!

So in my last post, I mentioned wanting to make something small and delicate - the Simple Circle necklaces did the trick. Apparently to balance things out, I needed to make something that was big and bold. The chunky, in-your-face, go-big-or-go-home beads in these necklaces refuse to be ignored. Can you handle them? I believe that you can.

These babies are one-of-a-kind, so if you like one, grab it. They are only available in my Modern Beads Etsy shop, and are $12 buckaroos each.

Two Treasuries! Seven Treasures Earrings and Flowering Stem Necklace Get Their Moment in the Sun...

What luck! I am currently featured in two Etsy Treasuries!

The first one is an in-your-face extravaganza of red and white awesomeness curated by jewelry designer Amy Singley of Adorn By Amy Singley. It features my Seven Treasures earrings in Crimson - which seem to be holding their own among Amy's very cool picks. 

The second one features a really lovely color palate of sky blue, lime, green and purple - and features the Treasury debut of my brand new design, Flowering Stem in Eggplant! (For now, available exclusively at my Etsy shop.) This one was put together by Dorothy Domingo, who is a woman of many, many talents - beader, quilter, ceramicist, and who knows what else! 

Thanks, Dorothy and Amy for featuring me! 

Etsy Treasury Feature: Salsa

Red + green: it's not just for Christmas, people! I love red and green together. Always have. Is it because of the high contrast - opposite sides of the color wheel and all? Who knows. What I do know is that my Meadows necklace in Crimson, featuring little red flowers on green stems made it into this Etsy Treasury (see the bottom row there) put together by Planet Treasures. She was inspired by other fabulous red and green combos: salsa ingredients and a landscape painting of a green and red field. Vive la vert et rouge! 

Meadow Necklace in Crimson Featured in Etsy Treasury

Another Etsy treasury feature - my Meadow Necklace in Crimson was included. Thanks to Miss Moose Designs for including me!
