Kicking Off the New Year with Creative Jewelry Making!

So we kicked off the new year by taking a drive to one of the lovelies summer home, which is in a nearby city of Grand Haven. It is a cute little lakeside community which offers beautiful beaches, golfing and fishing. We had a day which was about 45 degrees in Michigan, which is unheard of for the month of January. We have had basically no snow thus far and warm temperatures, alittle bit weird for this time of year. We started our morning by antiquing at one of many shops from Grand Rapids to Grand Haven. In search of treasures yet to be discovered!

Upon our arrival we were greeted by our lovely Laurie the host and these bright cheery Gerbera Daisys. So pretty when lined up in a row. I think if you love to make an impact it's a great idea to place your items in a row, repetition is candy for the eye!

So the project of the day was to rework old necklaces and create something new! Sweet Laurie had old jewelry that we had fun tearing apart. This beautiful focal charm was created by Sarah using a large chunk of amethyst, swarovski crystal, chips of quartz, pearls and a gold charm with words of love.

Here you'll find Jenny made a wonderful focal made from a picture frame (so clever) with large shell pearls, swarovski crystals, and glass crystals. If you try this, just remember to use a wire that fits through the hole of the pearls. They can be quite small at times. Such creativity! This pretty focal compliments her pearls so nicely!

Kimmie made a necklace using the same amethyst faceted stones that Sarah used adding irredescent briolettes and hammered silver chain! Oh so Lovely Kimmie.

Christy Louise used her creative spirit by using crystals and pearls. She made these oh so elegant earrings that measure approx. 1 3/4" which can be worn with anything. Way to go Christy!

I have always wanted to attempt making a birds nest, and I did it! I was so excited to bring something home. I used gold artistic thick non tarnishing wire and then added pearls for the eggs and topped it off by using a bird given to me by another lovely (Sarah). Thank you Sarah! I started by cutting off about 12" of wire and then making the loop at the top for the clasp. From there I just made a circle the size I wanted and twisted it about 4 times and once done with that I attached 3 seperate coils for security on the sides of the nest and then took thinner wire and added the eggs. Easy peasy I know you can do it! Top it off with charms of your choice and voila.
