Dragonfly Kiss Beaded Book Hook Bookmark

Dragonfly Kiss Beaded Book Hook Bookmark
I've made a lot of beaded bookmarks in a number of different styles. But this one has stood as my absolute favorite design since it's birth a year ago.

The Dragonfly's Kiss beaded book hook bookmark is made with an adorable little dragonfly charm attached beneath a tassel of glass beads and silver accents. The main bead in this handmade beaded bookmark is a beautiful glass bead with two tone color in both blue and green combined.

All together it creates a book marker that's sure to become a favorite and is perfect for marking your place, whether in a book, date book, journal or anything else you need to mark. So much better and less damaging than common page corner folding methods too!

Green Leaves of Glass Wire Wrapped Earrings

Green Leaves of Glass Wire Wrapped Earrings
Inspiration struck the moment I saw these pretty glass leaves! I love nature themes and the color of these leaves is so rich and bright that I couldn't wait to get them home and make these earrings from the glass beads.

These handmade earrings created from green leaves of glass that have been neatly and securely wire wrapped with gold tone wire. The earring hooks are hand-shaped in a graceful loop, finishing off a pair of wire wrapped earrings that's both light weight and comfortable to wear.

Hand Carved Beaded Butterfly Necklace

Hand Carved Beaded Butterfly Necklace
I'm not sure how many of my readers have ever used a Dremel tool before but let me assure you, there's just some jobs that little tool is wonderful for and hand-carving as well as shaping wooden beads definitely fits in this category.

The focal bead in this handmade necklace is a carefully fashioned wooden drum bead that's been stained a deep brick red then hand-carved with a beautiful little butterfly motif along its round curve. It was then joined by bamboo tube beads that have been stained a matching shade of red, small cream colored bone beads and a touch of golden accents for shimmer.

All brought together, this hand carved beaded butterfly necklace has a natural charm that's sure to make it a favorite to wear and has been designed with an extension chain at the nape so it can be worn tight like a choker or a bit more loose like a necklace.
