While Maytag Man was out working on lengthening and strengthening this new truck bed these past couple of days, I was inside busy beading.
We know who had the most fun!
This is what I made for Joy for her birthday…and she liked it. She is the blue gal, that is for sure.
These are two different sizes and shapes of lapis lazuli, and potato pearls, with silver accents. I just love those pearls. Each one is different, and has its own little characteristics. I used a little smaller sized pearls for the earrings.
And then I finally got around to making another two-string necklace of sodalite tubes, chips and balls, with silver bead accents. I don’t know if this one has a permanent home here or will be given away. I had fun…and also managed to get some more supplies heading my way, since my supplier was have a HUGE sale!

Have a great weekend, y’all!

Ciao cara Sandy!!!
Your artistic sense is as great, as your moral spirit!
Compliments!
Very fine beadings!!!
Maytag Man is a Superman!!!
Enjoy your Saturday!!!
See you!!!
Big hugs!!!
Both necklaces are beautiful! I like the mixed beads in Joy's and how the double-strand necklace is intertwined. I have a large sodalite pendant that maybe needs to be strung with smaller ones. Hmmmm.... Very pretty indeed!
very nice! i love the multiple strand necklaces, i like to do 4-6 strands! interesting at best, sometimes they explode before you get them all attached and you find beads for weeks! ha ha

I can't quite decide which one I like best though being more of a "simple" gal I'm leaning towards the one you made for Joy. Those potato pearls really make the rest of the beads pop and I'm sure that Joy is going to look just lovely wearing the gift of love you made for her.
You and Bee need to open a shop! You're both so talented with the beads!
Loverly! And no doubt made with lots of love!
MM to the rescue again! He needs his own theme music or something!
Big hugs :]
Very pretty necklaces. I can see why Joy would like her birthday gift.
Hank wants to play with the maytag man... LOL!
Love the bead projects. Can't wait to see the new stuff!
You definitely know what I like! My necklace and earrings are gorgeous and I'll be wearing them this week. Good job on the multi-strand one, too.
