Turquoise Mist collection on ArtFire

Turquoise is a natural color much favored by natives of the southwest United States. Morrigan has put together a nice collection of craft items in this Turquoise Mist collection. See her marvelous photography in her ArtFire studio including Haunted Forest Path and Roaring Point.

My favorites from this collection are these awsome Crochet Earrings made by WildChildDzigns in a way cool extra large size. See more bold designs on Facebook.

At first I thought this Strings in D Minor painting was a closeup of an a blue american football but this is a sample of Elis Cooke's original art. See more of her abstract paintings in her ArtFire Shop.

The featured item in this collection is this turquoise blue herringbone turks head knot rope bracelet which is one of a series of the "double weave" designs available in the ArtFire Shop.

Insiring Beads

A new necklace with a bead embroidered pendant. My inspiration for this necklace came from the focal beautiful donut ceramic bead by a fellow Bead Art Originals team member, Lisa of Lisa Peters Art.

I liked the how the pendant in the first necklace came out, and since I already had the right beads on my table, I created another necklace in similar colors, with a leather embroidered pendant.

And then I beaded a matching embroidered leather cuff... I love it when my inspiration comes from the beads themselves... It all started with the beautiful ceramic bead by Lisa Peters... Thank you, Lisa! :)
