Even though I have not been posting as much as I have in the past - I HAVE been beading and creating.
Some of the photos were beginning to pile up!
Earlier this year, I finished this pair of earrings. I started with a pair of adorable unakite scarabs and beaded around the little cabs.
The largest seed bead used here is a size 12/0. Also used (in the dangle) - a couple of unakite beads and two Swarovski crystal bicones.
They are backed with green Ultrasuede and were given away to a fund raising auction.
Another project completed earlier this year - my new check book cover. I admit I still use checks - probably more often than many, but I'm old school like that.
It was expertly hand tooled by J (my significant other) and laced by ME! My first lacing attempt and while it was tedious learning this stitch - I was thrilled to get it completed. Click on the photos for detailed close ups.
I hope everyone is enjoying the end of fall and is ready for winter!
More posts/photos coming soon...

Fabulous earrings! And wow, the checkbook is absolutely amazing. Great job with the lacing!
Thank you ma'am :-) That lacing takes some STRONG fingers, I was sore for days, but oh so happy with the results!
Earrings are lovely but your checkbook cover is as well a very nice job!!!!
Both are lovely finishes, and I'm like you I still use checks.
