Swarovski Crystal

Swarovski is the luxury brand name for the range of precision-cut lead crystal glass and related products produced by companies owned by Swarovski AG of Feldmeilen, near Zurich, Switzerland.

This is the definition I found on Wikipedia, but I would describe Swarovski crystal beads as really pretty, sparkly beads!! I have LOVED these beads ever since I became aware of them, but they are kind of pricey so I hadn't bought any. That is until Tuesday! I got a really great idea for a necklace that has the crystals along with natural stone beads, so I decided to get some. I will post a picture of the finished product when I complete it. It will be GORGEOUS!!!!

(P.S. The picture doesn't do the beads justice, AT ALL)

Pictures!!

I finally took some pictures of my latest projects. Sorry that they aren't the highest quality photos! Here they are:

First, my attempt at painting. I just used acrylic paint, and then added wood stain to the top to give it dimension. The gold swirls are just craft paint. What do you think?



I had the activity day girls in my church(ages 8-11) make these vases. So this was my example for them which I did beforehand. It is just paper ripped and stuck on the vase with mod podge. They turned out really cute!

I liked my vase so much that I decided to do some more. I decided to make two matching ones. I used the centerpieces from my reception! This time I cut the paper into squares. (I like geometric designs if you haven't figured that out yet!!)

CREATE Mode!!

I have been in CREATE mode the past few weeks. I finished my very first painting last week, which I thought actually turned out really well. It is a geometric design in different shades of brown. I really like it!! I will post pictures when I get some:) I also found an old chair that was my grandpa's that I am going to re-finish. I have also finished one vase that I decorated with paper, using mod podge(again I don't have a pic yet!) Anyways, I've just been excited about making some fun things. I loved doing the painting, and hope to do more, along with lots more jewelry and other fun projects. Stay tuned for more of my creations!!

Welcome!!

Welcome to my new blog. I decided to start a blog about my jewelry and other creative endeavors so that I don't have to write about it on our family blog. I hope that you enjoy the things I post, and would love any comments you have for me.
