Valentine's Day necklace

My Beading Happily Ever After Valentine's challenge necklace is on their blog.  Here is a link:  http://beadhappilyeverafter.com/blog/  I am about half way done the page.

Really pleased with it as it is out of comfort zone. 


What do you think?   Usually I am just a stinger but the hearts have some black in them and I thought of the black chain that I had.  Made matching earring from the small red and black hearts.

Thanks for stopping by.

Necklace Giveaway

I have been reading this neat blog (http://jeanawells.blogspot.com/) by jewelry maker Jean A Wells.  She has kindly donated one of her necklaces to Love My Art Jewelry for a giveaway for Valentine's Day.

Many Beading Challenges

Sorry I have not posted anything this week.  It was one of those hectic weeks. 

Completed two different necklace and earring sets for two different Valentine's Day challenges.  Will post those on Tuesday when they will appear on the sponsor's websites.  Really excited about the designs as they both are a little out of my comfort zone.

I was also able to get in on Michelle Mach's Suddenly Spring Challenge.  Love the bracelet and it fits!!!  My wrist is so small that most bracelets fall right off.  Will have to take a picture and post it.  The challenge for this is to make it represent spring.  I can take it apart or add to it.  Not sure what I am going to do.  Be sure watch for the blog hop on March 13.

Just saw a challenge for 7000 Bracelets of Hope.  Missed this last year and certainly want to try it this year.  Will be signing up and letting everyone know when the blog hop is.

Thanks for stopping by.
