“Opposites Attract”

When I got back from the Austin Bead Market, I just had to make something with some of my fabulous finds.  Here is the result:

The pendant is a faceted chunk of Snowflake Crystal Quartz, very beautiful and heavy.  I added a single  onyx bead and some wire work on the end.  Here is a close-up:

The rest of the necklace is made out of large Obsidian ovals and crackle glass 6mm  rounds.

This is a very chunky, large scale necklace – a little out of my jewelry making comfort zone, but the quartz just “called to me”!  You can find it for sale in my Etsy shop: www.sarascreations.etsy.com!

Crisp White and Cool Aqua Bracelet

Just posted this one in my shop…

I found these beads at a trunk show at one of my fav bead hang outs – Nomadic Notions, here in Austin, TX.  They are vintage German glass beads, circa 1950.  I love the shapes.  The aqua ones are squished in the center of one side.  I think they compliment the long, white ovals.
