Let It Snow Charm Bracelet & Earrings

I am so very behind on posting here!  And not for lack of crafting.  It just seems everything I craft lately is more stock for my Etsy.  Feeling like I'm in a bit of a rut, creating more copies of the same items, I decided to go back to swapping on Craftster to get the creative juices flowing some more.  In working on the Mermaid earrings that I previously posted, I realized I have several other items that I completed for dearest Melissa in our private version of the Mini 12 Days of Christmas Swap, that never went up here!

Since my darling friend loves snow, but lives in Texas where there is hardly any, I decided to create a snow themed charm bracelet for her.  Now she can have her own personal snowy day whenever she wants!

The bracelet is made up of Tibetan silver snowflake charms, Swarovski crystal snowflakes in cobalt and sapphire, shimmering pressed glass leaves, and a mix of glass, AB glass, crystal and moonstone beads.

  I also included a simple pair of earrings to go with it.  I purposely used two different snowflake charms on long ear wires, as a nod to the idea that no two snowflakes are ever exactly alike!

Mermaid Earrings and Feather Bookmark

I recently ran another round of Bead Soup Swap over on Craftster.  Part of the swap involves creating 1 or 2 small-to-medium crafted items for your partner.  I created these mermaid earrings based on another pair of cluster style earrings on my partner's Pinterest.  She also had a silver ring with two mermaids holding up a pearl on there, so I decided to combine the two.  I switched the color scheme to an analogous purple, blue, teal and green set, made up of faceted fire polished glass beads, tipped with silver spacers.

After finishing them, I decided to make her a matching bookmark.  It was done in the same style, and with a similar color scheme, but with larger crystal and cut glass beads, on a feather shaped bookmark.

And a shot of the bookmark at work.  I love how the cluster of beads trails down the spine of the book.

The Doctor's Companion Earrings

I worked my tail off on some more Doctor's Companion bracelets last night, but I fell short of actually completing any of them because I ran out of the fob watch & Earth charms that I make out of resin.  Hopefully I can get a large batch of those done tonight.  Meanwhile, I wanted to get some more Whovian goodies up in my Etsy right away, so I whipped up a few pairs of earrings before bed last night.
