Simple but pretty necklace, bracelet and matching earrings

[BethieB]

This is my first try at real jewelry.  For my first attempts, I really like how they turned out, and even my husband really likes them, which is saying something!  Anyway, on to the pictures...









As you can tell, I added a charm to the bracelet.  It's a spool of thread that I painted with glittery clear nail polish so it would sparkle.  I thought that was my favorite part, but the earrings are actually my favorite...I took apart a pair of old ones that I hated, so it was great to reuse some findings I already had and make them into something I really like!

And here's one more shot of me actually wearing the stuff...I hadn't added the charm yet but everything else is there!

Wow they are gorgeous Bethie... I have a secret following for you, not just in out 50 in 2010. Wonderful mjob! I love that spool of thread! **Drool.**

Aw, thank you V!  That makes me blush, I am so glad someone likes my stuff!

The thread is so adorable...I got from another Craftster...it's adorable!  I also got an amazing sewing machine, some keys and other totally adorable stuff that I am trying to make into jewelery as soon as I get time.  SO great!

I realized today, when I make jewelery I feel so calm and happy. Same can be said for everyone's crafts that are from the heart. You can really tell when love is put into your craft.
