Week 44: Favorite Colors

I'm still not caught up. It's not that I'm not making any jewelry but I just don't have the time to make scans (and I'm not even talking about trying out my new camera :( ). My friend who owns a jewelry and bead shop where I also give my workshops is on a vacation to China (she is of Chinese origin) for three weeks and I'm looking after the shop all on my own. Haven't worked a full week in a long time so I'm pretty tired after the first week. And I just caught a bad cold. But I love the work. I sold my first necklace and earrings that where displayed in the shop :). And the big benefit is that I'm surrounded by beautiful beads and I can make jewelry when I have no customers.
Oh and I almost forgot to tell about the necklace. It's made with my favorite colors of the moment. Labradorite, Moonstone, Dark Pearls, Iolite, Blue Chalcedone, Quartz and Silver are all strung on a coated metal wire. I hadn't done any stringing in year but I really enjoyed picking out the beads and deciding where they would go on the necklace :).
