Pine Ridge Gentle Spring Blog Hop

I am late to the Party. Gentle Spring Blog Hop sponsored by Pine Ridge Treasure's.

I received this package to design with 

Lately challenges include colored cording so I decided to give it a try and make a bracelet. Only the marbled Lavender beads had holes big enough to pass through 

It needs some dangles or a Tassel with some coordinating earrings.

Pine Ridge Ceramic Blog Hop

Today is the reveal for the Pine Ridge Ceramic Blog hop, sponsored by Lisa Lodge.  When I saw this picture with all the bight spring colors, I was thrilled to welcome spring at last. You all know how I love my color.So I just had to be part of this hop. Since everything is randomly picked I had no cause to worry the picture was full of color.  However, when I received my kit it was brown. Don't get me wrong gorgeous brown Jasper, a Pretty Ceramic with a lacey pattern from grubbi, rondells, clasp, a strand of white glass pearls but everything else brown.  This is what I received in my kit


Always up for a challenge, first a pair of Jasper wire wrapped teardrop earrings

Pine Ridge Favorite Things Challenge

Today is the reveal of the Favorite Things Blog Hop and Challenge

I use My I phone as my camera and lately my photo's haven't been publishing right side up.  I am having real issues and may have to get a camera Black Friday, I digress. Anyway A grateful Artist, Lisa Lodge who is the Hostess sent participants a kit of Beady items that are her favorites. We are also allowed to use our stash.

My kit copper findings Pearls and Jasper Nuggets

Loved those beautiful pearls and decided they needed to be clustered. From My stash I added Glass Spectra beads. Now, I must say, I expected a Kit of Sea Glass.  I thought that Sea glass was her Favorite thing, because I discovered Sea glass from her through her facebook group.

Glass pearls,Czech glass beads and Spectra bead dangles

I took the dangles and Jasper and created this bracelet using Copper Wire.I also made the Copper Clasp.

Now one of my favorite things are Cameo's. I always set my Cameo in Brass mounts.  This one from B'sue Boutiques as well as the Spectra beads.  So I took this gorgeous glass domed Cameo Lady and added some of these dangles

In my stash of Gemstones which are my favorites things, lol  I have some Aqua Terra Jasper. That matched the ribbons on the lady in the cameo. Lisa's Czech glass beads and Pearls complimented her gown beautifully and made for a great composition for my Necklace.

The lighting not so good.  We been expierencing some rain in New York this week. I love this Jasper.  It is Aqua in coloring with Sand/Tan colored veining. This is a bold Statement piece and I hope you like it.

Now I am going to hop around to the other participants in this Hop. Please drop me a line, come back for a visit  and "Wear Vintage its New Again"
