Some of you probably wonder if I ever get any beading done. I've actually done a few things over the last few weeks and I finally got the pics cropped and uploaded. Let me know what you think.
I did 5 of these sets for a wedding. They are 8 MM Swarovski Dark Sapphire and Shadow, with 6 MM Swarovski Rhinestone rondelles strung on sterling cable necklaces. The earrings used the 8 MM Dark Sapphire, the rondelle and a 4 mm Dark Sapphire for an accent. They were a big hit with the bride and her attendants.

last, I purchased a bunch of fossilized prehistoric alligator scales awhile back, and I finally got around to doing something with one of thescales. My first wire-wrap pendant, in fact. The necklace is mainly darkgemstone chips, possibly onyx but I'm not really sure, with some simplesilver spacers and beads. The scale is approx 1.5" high.
