Dream Catcher Necklace

Originally, this started out to be a pair of earrings.  After making a "guesstament" on how much of the gold lame thread I would need, I knew I had enough for one pair of earrings, no mistakes.  Well, being that the title of this post is "Dream Catcher Necklace", you can probably figure it out...............the "no mistakes" did not happen, lol.  So, I added a chain and so was born, "The Dream Catcher Necklace".

Since it is half passed midnight and I am pretty tired, this item will probably not be available at Nutkitten's Handcrafted Jewelry until tomorrow afternoon, Sunday 06/05/2011.   Oops, after midnight so I guess, technically, that would be today, lol.

Vampire Blog Hop

For the Vampire Blog hop, I made 3 things.  The first is a necklace with dyed turquoise.  One of them actually looks like a real heart, lol.  It has Tibetian Silver spacer beads and black glass beads.

This next item didn't turn out anything like I wanted it too.  At first it was going to be a pair of earrings but, I gave up so, it is a cell phone dangle or to hand on teens binder or whatever.

The wire is actually black.  Why it looks blue in the pic, I have no idea!

Dream Catcher Earrings

Usually with dream catchers, I have to do one of them over at least three or four times before I get two that match close enough to be considered a pair.  This time, I did it on the first try.  Talk about a relief, lol.  These will be available on my site later this evening.  (Have a ton of errands to run.  Tax return came in today, lol).

I.R.S.

This is totally off the jewelry theme, but.......I went to the IRS site to check on my refund.  So, I go to the "Where's My Refund" tool, fill it out, hit submit..........OH NO!  WE HAVE FOUND AN ERROR AND HAVE REFIGURED YOU REFUND!  Here I thought I was getting back $197.00.......Turns out I am getting back $578.00!   I just love those kind of mistakes!  LOL

Lemon Drop - Last of the accidental citrus theme!

Here's the lemon drop necklace.  I have had the yellow and white nugget beads for quite sometime but could never seem to find anything to go with them.  So.......I decided to try painting some wood beads since I have tons of them!  I think they turned out pretty good and match perfectly.

I tried painting some other wood beads different colors to see how they would turn out.  The yellow ones used for the Lemon Drop Necklace, I used a non glossy finish so they would have a matte appearance.  These other beads, I gave a glossy finish.  A couple of them, I even added some fingernail decals, lol.  Actually, they look kind of like easter eggs!!!!!

I think I need to try some less flashy colors.
