making it big, necklace that is

not long ago,

john bead outlet had a sale on these wonderful bezels

buy 2 get 10 free

its always good to have a stash on hand 

for when an idea hits you

i also pick ups a variety of crosses at bead dynasty

going through my stash i also found some acrylic flowers

which look great with the necklace below

more skull jewelry

as always, one thing leads to another and another

i enjoyed the last 2 necklaces so much and had some leftover

skulls and just had to make more

searching through my stash i found a fun skull cameo and lava beads

combined with red pearls and metal  

i like the look

(below)

i also found a cross which i filled with resin clay

 and added some howlite and turquoise

chain reaction

it always starts with one little thing which sends me down a path to making a ton more

these little skulls i found at the john bead outlet

they matched perfectly with my leftover howllite

a bit of chain and some nylon coated wire

after wearing it out, a few friends wanted one of there own

which lead me to several more

i love this one below

encaustic

working with the heat gun and blow torch

oil pastels and metallic oil paint

i had a bit of fun experimenting
