It's after midnight in the East so I am going to post this from the Pacific Northwest....Well, the big day has finally come. Here's what I made with the beads from Bonnie over at Jasper's Gems.... I was feeling like making a bunch of wrapped bead dangles..... I used some of my vintage brass chain which I have been collecting for a long time. I usually work in sterling silver or silver plate. Some times I use copper wire...but not too often do I use brass. I like how the brass goes with the blue..
Just love the big brass hand-forged nugget... it has so much depth!!!
The whole project took a lot longer than I had anticipated but well worth it!! I even had enough beads to make ear rings and a bracelet. I added some dark blue seed beads, some white dagger tubes (also vintage), a few brass balls and some small white seed beads.. I called the collection
"VINTAGE BLUES"

Really beautiful and such soft, fresh colours
Excellent! That would look lovely with a posh frock :)
I love it! Dangles are my thing and that necklace is to die for. And the earrings and bracelet just make it complete. Wonderful pieces.
Very pretty-love the calming blue. That's my favorite clasp to work with - I use it in many of my designs.
