Winter is reminding the Midwest that she has not retired for the season yet. As the winter storm bears down that will bring low temperatures and even lower wind chills as well as more of the white stuff, I have gotten my ice blue beads (the same color of the ice on a glacier when a piece has sheared off recently) and my silver chains and findings out, and they are what I will be working with for the next few days while I'm drinking my coffee or tea in my warm home :)
I love the materials I'm working with, and they are so appropriate to the current weather. Large aqua/ice blue seed beads, some of them foil lined so they shine like fresh snow in the sunlight (something we aren't likely to see for a couple of days), tiny rochelle beads, all foil lined, large frosted beads to add accent and drama to the creations, medium beads with embedded foil accents to create interest, silver chains which are also wonderful winter colors, and silver wire from which to make the chain maille links with which to marry the elements to create beautiful jewelry for my website at http://www.etsy.com/shop/HorsefeatherNuggets?ref=si_shop . This is the place where the jewelry will be listed as soon as the pieces are finished and I have enough natural light to take pictures of them. :)
