Fun, swirly, gemstone and wood bead necklace with dichro pendent
Notes from the artist :
My name is Stacy, and I love making beaded jewerly because it never gets boring.
I love that I will always have such a wide range of materials to choose from. I also love it because I have a desire to use my creative energy to produce a finished creation that I can share.
I expected that selling on etsy would allow me to use this creative energy, and my suspicions were correct, but I didn't count on all the creativity required in running a shop. I really have had to spend a lot of time perfecting photos and descriptions through trial and error.
Though making the listings can be a bit tedious, I have really come to enjoy photographing my jewelry. I have learned to use different angles and backgrounds to bring out the best features of my jewelry.
Selling on etsy is a continuing creative process that I have really enjoyed.
Description :This lovely handcrafted gemstone necklace was made using large swirly patterned wood beads, yellow (dyed) freshwater pearls, small green turquoise nuggets, blue goldstone chips, red jasper chips, 2mm silver plate smooth rounds, 6mm carnelian rounds, 6mm citrine glass rounds,and orange and green glass seeds.
The brightly colored gemstones and bead choices complement the very colorful silver and dichroic glass pendent. The necklace is 183/4 inches long and is finished with a silver tone barrel clasp.
The turquoise, freshwater pearls, carnelian and jasper are all genuine. Goldstone is a man made stone. The pendent uses genuine silver.
This little shirt is inspired by my baby who seems to love Justin Timberlake and Hanna Montana music. Every times it comes on in the car she stops yelling at me and starts dancing. So I designed her a shirt to celebrate that she is a rock baby. I love making things personalized for my baby, like burp cloths that match her blankets and shirts with her name on them.
This necklace is truly unique. I like making lasso type necklaces. They allow for a nice low drop and an asymmetrical design, but I haven't made any in awhile because they tend to move up to the neckline and some people don't like that. This necklace has a clasp built into the main body of the piece so that I have all the benefits of a lasso design, without the sliding. The pearls around the chalcedony are on wires, so that they rise up and surround the base of the chalcedony, giving the look that the chalcedony is embedded in the pearls. I like it so much I made one for myself.
This seashell pendant is cast from sterling silver. The original model was made by me with a real seashell, and is made using the lost wax casting process.

To begin this quilt design, I waxed on the duck egg using a small funnel called a kistka. Duck eggs are much larger than the eggs at the market. They are smooth like porcelain so it is a delightful surface to work on. Then I put the egg in an acid bath and etched it back until I could feel a raised surface. Next,I dipped it in a quick raspberry wash of a permanent dye.
The necklace is made with a glass Citrine Quartz carved flower that is hugged with little Cherry Quartz rondelles. 
My style of design for my cards is focused on being bright, colourful and cheery as I would love to be able to bring joy and excitement to whoever receives it. I am always on the look out for various materials to be used on my cards.
