Pendant Obsession

Turquoise with silver spiral

Red glass with turquoise and silver

Turquoise with silver and purple beads

Brown smoky quartz and silver

Handmade blue glass bead and turquoise

As you can see I went on a bit of a pendant-making rampage last night. I made 4 new pendants on silver chains, all about the same size as the original turquoise one I showed a few days ago. I also made some new beaded necklaces and a couple of pairs of earrings.

There is another fair coming up at the end of this months and I think I'm going to participate!

Areyou becoming a "fair addicted"? I loved the photo below and really like your work!

About my hair: no, it isn't mine but people tend to think it's mine because it's the exact same colour.

I am just... VAIDOSA :)

Ali, these are beautiful! I love the color schemes and size play on each one. Striking.

Even though turquoise is one of my favorite stones (and colors), I definitely adore the smoky quartz! You're talented, señorita Ali:)

~Elite - I don't know about fair addicted, but I'm definitely jewelry addicted!

Your hair is great, either way.

~Jeanette - Thanks for the compliment, and thanks for coming by my blog.

~Kanuthya - The smoky quartz one is one of my favorites, too. I'm having a hard time convincing myself to sell it, but I guess it's a good thing that I like my own jewelry, no? Obrigada!

Amber said...

I love the turquoise and the brown quartz!!!! Are you selling to Canadians yet?

How long did it take you to make this batch?

~Safiya - I'm so glad to hear you like the red one. I have had this big glass bead forever and had never quite been able to use it in a way that pleased me.

~Amber - Thanks!

~Ruby - Sweet you, I also love the brown one.

~Mad - Thanks for stopping by my blog. I'm encouraged that you like my designs, and hopefully your premonition that I'll have success at the fair will come true.

~Non Vocab - Thanks so much. I'm blushing at your suggestion that I might sell to anyone outside these random fairs in Mozambique. I'm flattered. If I lived somewhere normal, where the postal system worked, maybe I'd take your suggestion seriously and put some stuff up on the internet. Alas, I don't...

It took me about 2.5 hours to make all of these, including handmaking the clasps and trying them on to see if they looked good!

Well, they are loverly. You can take some home during your visit and sell them to unsuspecting Amerrkins.

I'm unsuspecting, but I haven't been an American for over 20 years now.
