Nov. 16 lampwork

Lampwork in the center of this purple and gold necklace draws attention to Sharyl's Jewelry focal

This blog hop showcases lampwork beads by artisans.  Lisa Lodge organized it and sent everyone different lampwork beads to use.  For this blog I received 3 different sized, smooth, round purple ceramics by Shazzazz and a pair of purple floral ceramics by Suebeads.

I used 2 of the smooth,  round purple ceramics to suspend focals in the necklace above and below.  The purple and gold necklace above has a handmade brass artisan focal suspended from one of the smooth, purple lampwork beads. The purple lampwork is surrounded by lovely pieces of citrine.

Owl Necklace by Bay Moon Design $39

The second of the three smooth, round lampwork beads is used to suspend the owl focal.  I use large and very cute handmade ceramic owl by blueberribeads as a focal.

The last of the smooth, purple focals is found in a cuff bracelet that features a bracelet bar by Humblebeads.  The purple beads is on the right of the bracelet bar and is the same color of purple as in the polymer clay.

Purple Firefly Bracelet is available for $35.

I also got a pair of beautiful, matching purple floral ceramics by Suebeads .  I think they are perfect for earrings.  These  purple floral earrings have over a dozen petite cream colored pearls. The artisan ceramics have cream colored swirls or floral design on them.

Purple Floral  Earrings are available for purchase

Thank you Lisa for the beautiful ceramics and organizing this blog hop.  I was able to create some unique pieces with them.  Please visit all of the participants to see what they created.
