Linda's Lowly Beading Adventures

[Marianne]

Wonderful creations, Linda! Love the t-shirt too.

I got these unusual color south seas pearls from Kong's. I strung them with tanzanites. Amazing!

 

[Charlotta]

Very pretty. I have some iolites that I haven't done anything with yet. They would look pretty with pearls but the drillholes are so small that I then have to use beading wire. I prefer Beaders secret.

 

[Marianne]

Wonderful combination, Linda!!!

 

[CathyKeshi]

LINDA!!! Wow, I just LOVE those unusual SS pearls with the tanzanites ... that's just gorgeous ... Congratulation

 

[BWeaves]

Linda, great combination!

 

[pattye]

Yes, I love that combination; well done, Linda!

 

[Katbran]

well done ! Those silvery South Sea are perfect for the Tanzanites

And now some aquamarines:

and I made earrings too:

and bravely listed them on eBay.

 

[Marianne]

The aquas are so pretty with your coloring, Linda!

 

[Charlotta]

Very pretty aquamarines Linda.

Next, some abalone with quartz. I was able to get the shine of the abalone, but not so much the sparkle of the quartz.

 

[GemGeek]

Lovely. If I only had the time, I could copy it! Neck shot?

 

[Happy Huku]

Lovely, I so enjoy sharing your beading adventures!

 

[Charlotta]

Very pretty abalone and quarts set.

I got my daughter to take the picture:

 

[Charlotta]

Those looks great on you Linda.

 

[pattye]

What fun new sets, Linda! I do love quartz and white topaz faceted beads ~ they seem to have the perfect amount of sparkle to compliment pearls and mother of pearl, well done! Your orchid sweater is perfect with the abalone.

Glad GemGeek asked for a neckshot! Beautiful, beautiful.

They look great on you, Linda! And I know they are much more colorful in real life. I love how pretty abalone shells are and how difficult it is to capture their colors.
